"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we have seen that the aim of Mr Sterckx’s report was to guarantee security, safety, consumer protection, fair competition and environmental protection. We agree with these objectives, but we cannot support the project to create a regulatory authority for air transport safety. We would like to have further information, particularly regarding the formation of this authority and we would like to know who would be responsible for monitoring it and by what means they would do so.
Furthermore, paragraph 8 calls for, and I quote, “the operational bodies responsible for ATC to be privatised”. We do not think that this is a wise suggestion. We are totally opposed to any kind of further privatisation, which could exacerbate the already deteriorating working conditions, in this area which is so closely linked to passenger safety. This privatisation will result in major job losses and will certainly have a damaging impact on safety. European skies are comparatively safe, and we want to see that safety preserved.
To conclude, in order to guarantee the primacy of safety regulations over all other considerations, air traffic control must remain a public and national service."@en1
