lpv:spoken text	"Mr President I am glad to be able to raise this matter in the presence of the Commissioner for Transport, Mrs de Palacio, because it is scandalous that the French Government obliges us to come to Strasbourg and has exercised political and emotional pressure - some would say blackmail - to keep us here, but fails both to get a TGV line built and, even as owner of Air France, to ensure decent air services to this beautiful but inconveniently located city. Mr President, I commend you for recently taking up the question of Air France services to Strasbourg from London, as reflected in today's . Thank you. We face the prospect of cancellation of the direct flights from London Gatwick to Strasbourg from next month by the Air France subsidiary Britair. I understand Britair is going to court over subsidies to the new competitor Ryanair, which appear to breach state aid rules. There is a similar case going on in Belgium over Charleroi. Will you please keep up all possible pressure, perhaps in conjunction with Commissioner de Palacio, to ensure a decent air service as long as we have to remain in Strasbourg once a month, which I hope will not be for very much longer."@en1
