lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I support the British initiative to highlight those airlines that are not allowed into UK airspace. At this time we cannot presume that the recent air accident in Egypt was caused by mechanical failure. It is therefore prudent for us to await the accident investigation report. However, I agree with the Commission that travel agents and tour operators should inform passengers more fully about the airlines which are part of their holiday package. Perhaps we can do something about that. There must also be a far better means of exchange of information, whether it be through the International Civil Aviation Organization, the EU or Member States. In addition, I believe that the Maes Report on ramp checks, which is coming to its conclusion, should address some of the issues. With regard to the transfer of data, we should remember that 3 000 people lost their lives in those horrendous attacks on 11 September, and many of them were from the European Union. So it is not surprising that the Americans reacted in the way they did. Having said that, I fully welcome the outcome of the negotiations attended by Commissioners Bolkestein and de Palacio. The conclusions drawn from those negotiations are extremely positive, not least, in my view, in relation to the information on collection and storage. Hopefully that should satisfy Parliament. I agree that better cooperation between the US and the EU could probably solve problems before they arise. I would therefore urge the United States not to act unilaterally. I think we can do things better. With regard to the suspension and delay of flights over the Christmas and New Year period, they were clearly decisions that had to be made by national governments. In my view, it is therefore necessary to look again at the Lisi Report, which has just gone through Parliament, as regards current non-reference to matters coming under ."@en1
