lpv:translated text	"( ) Mr President, it has been noted that air transport is increasingly accessible to a greater number of our fellow citizens. This democratisation is admittedly welcome, but raises important questions for the future: increased traffic, overcrowded airports, congested skies and lack of respect for the environment, in particular in terms of noise pollution. The desire to create optimum air traffic control in Europe is based on good intentions, but why should the Commission challenge the air policies of the Member States and their bilateral agreements through a single air space? Of course, I agree, on the one hand, with the goal of rationalising the movement of aircraft and, on the other hand, with the goal of aiming for improved traffic flow, while fully respecting consumer protection and passenger safety. I would like to believe Mrs Palacio when she assures us that, and I quote, there is “no reference to creating competition between air traffic control services or their privatisation in the works of the Commission”. But in that case, the staff concerned would have no justifiable need of trade unions? The Commission is demanding the advent of a proper air traffic management authority, a strong regulatory authority. I say no. No to a complete overhaul of Eurocontrol. No to a new regulatory structure – after all, the current system effectively organises, particularly with regard to safety, a balanced flow of traffic while respecting the national systems which all states are entitled to. No to the Commission representing the Member States with regard to external States, thereby destroying any political decision-making power in the field of air transport."@en1
