AÉROPORTS DE PARIS SPECIFICATIONS

The specifications of Aéroports de Paris, approved by decree No. 2005-828 of 20 July 2005, sets the specific obligations of Aéroports de Paris with respect to its public service obligations. In particular, it defines the relationships between Aéroports de Paris and the various third parties at the Group’s airports: passengers, the public, air carriers, aircraft operators, the government and its institutions and services. For this purpose, Aéroports de Paris: ◆ assigns air carriers to terminals at a given airport and may assign air carriers between airports, after the air carrier has expressed an opinion and, in the case of a change of airport, the Minister in charge of Civil Aviation has given his/her assent; ◆ provides for access to and movement within airports, the reception of certain categories of passengers, the organisation of emergency services including a permanent medical team, the dissemination of useful information to passengers and the public, and the conducting of passenger surveys. In the event of significant delays or traffic disruptions, Aéroports de Paris must deploy the resources required to provide assistance to passengers; ◆ manages airports so that the needs of airlines, their ground handling service providers and Government authority services, within premises and facilities that are directly necessary for their activities, may be met within a reasonable timeframe. Aéroports de Paris establishes the operating rules for facilities and airport opening hours; ◆ in addition to services to other government administrations, supplies the provider of aircraft navigation services with specific services, in line with the agreed terms and set out in appendix 1; ◆ is responsible for checking runways and taxiways, traction control and runway skid rating measurements and, under certain conditions, the regulation of aircraft movements within traffic areas; ◆ appoints qualified employees to enforce rules regarding the policing of airports and parking at airports, and also takes the appropriate measures to enhance security, whether this involves lighting or video surveillance;

◆ ensures, at the request of the minister responsible for Health, the application of certain health regulations, and provides, under the same conditions, appropriate information for passengers going to or coming from geographical regions temporarily affected by an epidemic; ◆ ensures the application of environmental regulations and is responsible, in this capacity, for the measurement of noise and measurements relating to atmospheric pollutants, rainwater run-off and wastewater; ◆ issues authorisation for activity at airports to ground handling service providers, air carriers that handle their own ground handling, and other companies engaged in industrial, commercial or craft activity. The specifications provide the State with the right to be informed about the economic and financial situation of the company. For this purpose Aéroports de Paris must provide the State with an annual report on the public service missions for the past financial year. The government authorities also monitor the Company’s use of the land and buildings it owns, in order to ensure the satisfactory fulfilment of the public service obligations assigned to it. In the event of transfer to the private sector of most of Aéroports de Paris’ capital, as authorised by the Pacte law, new specifications will apply to Aéroports de Paris. Article 131 of the Pacte law sets the minimum content of the specifications. The new specifications must, in particular, include provisions to regulate and/or authorise various operations, in particular those relating to the land of Aéroports de Paris, which must return to the State at the end of the seventy years of operation by Aéroports de Paris. Article L. 6323-4 of the French Transport Code sets the method of calculation of the amount of any fine (“financial penalty”) that the Minister responsible for Civil Aviation may impose, after approval by a committee of experts chaired by a judicial or administrative magistrate, in the event of a failure by Aéroports de Paris to meet its specific obligations under the specifications. This amount must be proportionate to the severity of the breach, the scale of any loss and any advantage that may be gained, up to a maximum of 0.1% of revenues excluding tax of the preceding financial year, raised to 0.2% in the event of a further violation of the same obligation 1 .

1 In the event of privatisation, the ceiling of the financial penalty would be increased to 2% of revenue excluding tax for the last financial year ended by breach and to 10% of revenue excluding tax in the event of cumulative breaches.
