It only means that they have to allow a UAE registered aeroplane flown by a UAE licensed crew into their airspace.
Not necessarily..............UAE-registered aircraft can also be flown by pilots who don't hold UAE licences, but who have appropriate licences that have been rendered valid by the UAE.
The UAE license is a good license but there have been serious shortcomings in the past that have been sorted out in the mean time.
The problems were caused by expats and not by locals.
REALLY? Why is it [again] the fault of expats?
The UAE is responsible for the licences it issues or renders valid (pursuant to the standards and recommended practices of Annex 1), so if there's been problems in the past, then they were all of the UAE's making.
