Abstract: Let $pi:EoM$ be a vector bundle over a simply connected manifold and $abla$ a linear connection in $pi$. Let $sigma:UightarrowE$ be a $abla$-parallel section of $pi$ defined on a connected open subset $U$ of $M$. We give sufficient conditions on $U$ in order to extend $sigma$ to the whole $M$. We mainly concentrate to the case when $M$ is a $2$-dimensional simply connected manifold.
