"Mr President, on behalf of my group, I would like to thank Mr Schmitt for the excellent work he has done in preparing this report. The formulation of common rules for civil aviation traffic and the establishment of an Aviation Safety Agency are important steps forward in the area of improved air safety. Other important goals are improved levels of environmental protection, and the promotion of fair competition and proper certification processes. To achieve these goals the Aviation Safety Agency must function as independently as possible. The necessary acts must be applied uniformly at both national and Agency level. Commonly applied rules will lead to greater cost-effectiveness and a reduction in superfluous administration. The longer transitional period contained in the common position is necessary to allow time for the Member States to replace the current complicated regulatory and certification procedures with certificates. Most air traffic accidents are due to human factors. As aviation becomes ever more technically complex the compilation of data and information exchange are of paramount importance in the improvement of civil aviation safety. Although air traffic has always been a relatively safe form of transport, its growth, as well as airport and airspace congestion have increased the risk of accident. Close cooperation between Member States for the purpose of raising levels of civil aviation safety will be an important precaution as air traffic grows. The safety of European airspace is in the interests of everybody. In my opinion we should move towards a compromise as quickly as possible and avoid conciliation."@en1
