National legislation Aéroports de Paris has exclusive rights to manage, operate and develop its airports for an indefinite period. It must comply with the common law provisions applicable to all airfield operators that derive mainly from the French Transport Code (codified legislative texts) and from the French Civil Aviation Code (codified regulatory texts), under the specific conditions deriving mainly from the provisions of the law of 20 April 2005 and the obligations ensuing from its specifications (see below). Regulations relating to fees Please refer to the paragraph in chapter 6 on “Fees”. Opening of airfields to public air traffic All aircraft with the appropriate technical characteristics may use airfields operated by Aéroports de Paris. Airfields managed by Aéroports de Paris are open to public air traffic. The civil aviation code classifies airfields intended for public air traffic into five categories, according to the nature of the traffic that the airfields need to handle. Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly and Paris-Le Bourget airports are classified under Category A, i.e . they are airfields intended for long- haul services normally provided in all circumstances. The other airfields operated by Aéroports de Paris are classified under Categories C, D or E. Works on airfields Major transport infrastructure projects costing at least €83,084,715 are subject to an assessment consisting of an analysis of construction, operation and infrastructure conditions and costs, an analysis of funding conditions and the financial rate of return, and an analysis of the impact of the choice on existing transport facilities.

The creation or extension of Category A runways at a cost in excess of €100 million requires a public consultation. The construction work for a new airfield gives rise to the prior preparation of an impact study, and is preceded by a public enquiry. Lastly, work on building, extending or substantially modifying airport infrastructure, the operation of which presents specific security risks to users and local residents, will be the subjective of a descriptive dossier accompanied by a security report, under the conditions laid down by a decree that has not yet been adopted. The issuing of building permits relating to operations of national interest, such as development and construction work on areas assigned to airport public service, are the responsibility of the Government authorities. Ownership of Aéroports de Paris assets Aéroports de Paris owns all of its assets in full, both land and infrastructure. However, the exercising of its property rights is restricted by law where a structure or land located within the airport field is required to enable Aéroports de Paris to carry out its public service obligations. In this case, the Government authorities may oppose the sale or transfer, or the creation of a lien over the structure or land, or authorise such operations only on condition that they do not prejudice the fulfilment of these obligations. The specifications determine the categories of land and structures concerned, which appear on the maps provided. The areas concerned represent around 67% of the total real estate area of the three airports, Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly and Paris-Le Bourget. However, the restrictions to the exercising of property rights only affect 14% of the property reserves. The Company must also notify the Minister in charge of Civil Aviation of any infrastructure operations, representing a built surface area of more than 10,000 sq.m., that it is planning to undertake or for which it is planning to provide authorisation to a third party on the land or in the immediate vicinity of Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly, and which would fall outside the scope of airport service. In this case, it would need to establish that these projects would not have an impact on the fulfilment of its public service obligations, and would be compatible with its anticipated development plans. In the event of the closure to public air traffic of all or part of an airfield that it operates following a decision by the government authorities, Aéroports de Paris will pay the government authorities 70% of the difference between, on the one hand, the market value of buildings that are no longer assigned to airport-related public service and, on the other, the value of these buildings as recorded on the Company’s balance sheet at 31 December 2004, plus costs linked to their upgrading and the closure of the airport facilities. The market value of the real estate assets will be determined by a committee of experts, which will apply methods currently used for evaluating real estate. The agreement only affects buildings that once belonged to the public domain of Aéroports de Paris or the government authorities before their change of status. The air space around and over the aerodromes is protected by means of aviation easements. These easements are intended to protect an airfield from obstructions, in such a way that aircraft can land and take-off there under good general conditions of safety and reliability. The aviation easements forbid the creation or require the removal of any obstacles that could constitute a danger for air traffic, and may lead to height restrictions for buildings. Warning beacon aviation easements involve an obligation to equip certain obstacles with visual or radio-electric devices intended to signal their presence to pilots.
