Hon. Temporary Speaker, the agreement was adopted on the 16th Meeting of the Sectoral Council on Transport, Communication and Meteorology which was held from 24th to 28th June 2019 in Kampala, Uganda, to actualise the requirement of the East African Community Treaty and Convention on International Civil Aviation, that is the Chicago Convention, which requires cooperation in matters pertaining aircraft accidents and incident investigations.

Consequently, the Agreement reiterates and recognises the importance of adopting common policies in the development of civil transport in the EAC and the need to cooperate in aircraft accidents and incident investigation services.
