"Who wants incredibly noisy aircraft in Europe? Answer: the United States administration, both under Clinton and Bush. From 1 April next, they want to send old, incredibly noisy aircraft with silencers to Europe. Europe had already decided that these aircraft, fitted with a so-called
should be phased out after 1 April. However, the US Government, which sells high numbers of these hushkits to airline companies in developing countries, has lobbied hard and effectively. Instead of a general ban for the whole of Europe, the European Commission now wants each airport to document the fact that it does not want these noisy aircraft. Of course, if you really want to, you can still stop these wretched old things. But the result will be that an increasing number of these noisy old bangers will move to smaller airports. From London to Manchester, from Maastricht to Bierset. This is something I cannot endorse."@en1
