Article 11 1.

Member States shall take the necessary measures for the organization of a selection procedure for suppliers authorized to provide groundhandling services at an airport where their number is limited in the cases provided for in Article 6 (2) or Article 9. This procedure must comply with the following principles:

(a) 

In cases where Member States require the establishment of standard conditions or technical specifications to be met by the suppliers of groundhandling services, those conditions or specifications shall be established following consultation with the Airport Users' Committee. The selection criteria laid down in the standard conditions or technical specifications must be relevant, objective, transparent and non-discriminatory.

After having notified the Commission, the Member State concerned may include among the standard conditions or technical specifications with which suppliers of groundhandling services must comply a public service obligation in respect of airports serving peripheral or developing regions which are part of its territory, which have no commercial interest but which are of vital importance for the Member State concerned.

(b) 

An invitation to tender must be launched and published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, to which any interested supplier of groundhandling services may reply.

(c) 

Suppliers of groundhandling services shall be chosen:

(i) 

following consultation with the Airport Users' Committee by the managing body of the airport, provided the latter:

— 
does not provide similar groundhandling services; and
— 
has no direct or indirect control over any undertaking which provides such services; and
— 
has no involvement in any such undertaking;
(ii) 

in all other cases, by competent authorities of the Member States which are independent of the managing body of the airport concerned, and which shall first consult the Airport Users' Committee and that managing body.

(d) 

Suppliers of groundhandling services shall be selected for a maximum period of seven years.

(e) 

Where a supplier of groundhandling services ceases his activity before the end of the period for which he was selected, he shall be replaced on the basis of the same procedure.
Article 11 2.

Where the number of suppliers of groundhandling services is limited in accordance with Article 6 (2) or Article 9, the managing body of the airport may itself provide groundhandling services without being subject to the selection procedure laid down in paragraph 1. Similarly, it may, without submitting it to the said procedure, authorize an undertaking to provide groundhandling services at the airport in question:

— 
if it controls that undertaking directly or indirectly; or
— 
if the undertaking controls it directly or indirectly.
Article 11 3.
The managing body of the airport shall inform the Airport Users' Committee of decisions taken under this Article.
