".
On the pretext of wanting to create 'an integrated airspace governed by the same principles and rules', the Council, the Commission and the Fava report are actually proposing the establishment of a means of air traffic control in Europe based on economic criteria, in other words, a Single Sky market.
Was the air disaster in Germany last July an example of what we can expect from the Single European Sky? The air traffic control company Skyguide was a private company. It operated in a functional airspace in which operator and regulator were separate. Skyguide was so lacking in human and material resources that safety was affected. Is this the path we should follow, as the Commission recommends? In any event, this accident should make Members of Parliament extremely prudent pending the results of the enquiries, and also in light of the consequences of the effective liberalisation of other means of transport such as rail transport in the United Kingdom.
That was the message of the major European strike by air traffic controllers on 19 June 2002. Instead of swearing by the market alone, we should favour cooperation, such as exists within the organisation for air safety, Eurocontrol. We should pay more attention to public service and safety. We should think globally about the intermodality of transport."@en1
