lpv:translated text	". Mr President, the topic of aircraft noise often gives rise to conflicts, conflicts between the European Union and the United States and conflicts among European Parliament committees. Finally, as far as the conflict between EP committees is concerned, I have no choice but to conclude that this report has wrongly been designated to the Committee on Regional Policy, Transport and Tourism. Fortunately, thanks to sound cooperation with Mr Jarzembowski, we have reached agreement with the Council. We will therefore leave this conflict for what it was. The solution to the conflict with the United States is very close. Tomorrow, the plenary session can simply end the conflict by accepting the compromise that was reached with the Council. As far as the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy is concerned, this will not pose a huge problem since the following four points have been resolved satisfactorily. First of all, the scope to designate airports as city airports has been widened. This helps combat noise pollution, since city airports are allowed to take more stringent measures. Secondly, the research obligations from Annex II have now been formulated in such a way as not to constitute an unnecessary barrier to measures. Thirdly, the possibility has been created to ban subsequent phases of aircraft after five years. Fourthly, the exemption regulation for developing countries is now restricted to a ten-year period. A total of 33 compromise amendments have been tabled, as a result of which most amendments tabled by the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy can lapse. However, I only tabled the first two amendments of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy by way of supplement. Environmental considerations, in particular, must be integrated in transport policy in accordance with Article 6 of the Treaty. As rapporteur Jarzembowski remarked a moment ago, there were a few minor changes submitted, including oral additions to the amendments tabled and also the change to Amendment No 12, which have led us to achieve complete agreement. I recommend that the plenary session tomorrow support the compromise package, so that the legislative process can be concluded in one reading. This is important in order to solve a long, drawn-out conflict with the United States involving the Hushkits Regulation."@en1
