"Mr President, this is the first directive that deals with ambient noise, as distinct from noise from a particular common source. Indeed it is to be welcomed. I also welcome the recent decision of the Committee on the Environment to restate that this draft directive should be strengthened into a framework directive out of which further, more detailed and specific legislation can follow, in other words, daughter directives. A one-size-fits-all policy in relation to environmental noise and the different transport sectors, not to mention differing circumstances in Member States, is not satisfactory legislation.
I would like to mention another point. I do not agree with the views of my colleague, Mr de Roo, in the specific amendments he has introduced on noise at airports and in the environs of airports in this piece of legislation. That will be for another day as far as I am concerned. I would like a response from the Commission in view of the opinion of the Advocate-General, delivered on 20 September last, on the preliminary ruling on the invalidity of Articles 2 and 3 of Regulation (EC) No 925/99 on restricting the use of aircraft at European airports in the interests of protection against noise. This regulation was based, curiously and questionably, on design criteria rather than performance criteria. I am referring to the controversial hushkits legislation, an example of how not to do something. I would appreciate a Commission response.
Could the Commission indicate whether it will be proposing the repealing or amending of this regulation, because this is a most important issue. We cannot pursue design criteria, as distinct from performance criteria, which favour one jet engine manufacturer over another. That has got us into difficulties on this issue. I would appreciate persistence in pursuing the issue of Mr de Roo's amendments. In the light of what has happened with the hushkits legislation I would like a response from the Commission."@en1
