enable TAP to engage in: (i) Scheduled and charter foreign air

in any Member State and via intermediate points to any point or points

additional route rights made available to European Community airlines 
in the future. TAP also requests exemption authority to the extent 
necessary to enable it to engage in the above described operations 
pending issuance of an amended foreign air carrier permit.
