"We are not entirely satisfied with the results of the conciliation procedure between the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers on the Single European Sky. The texts put to the vote are nothing more than compromises between a liberal philosophy and safety requirements, with no mention of the prospect of a Single European Sky organised and controlled by European public services.
From the outset, we have supported and reported on the action taken by the European unions, who have tirelessly defended the general interest against these moves to transform the sky into a commodity. By mobilising their forces and working with conviction, they had the principle of the non-separation of technical services accepted and ensured that the States retained responsibility for the functional blocks of airspace. Finally, they obtained a commitment from the Commission to publish a review of the directive in five years’ time. Without these concessions from the Council things would have been much worse. However, in the light of the liberalisation of the other transport sectors, we remain very concerned about the future of public authority control over this sector, which is subject to fierce competition. Moreover, the agreement leaves the Member States free to decide whether to entrust air traffic control to a public service or a private company. Because of these concerns, we did not vote in favour of the results of the conciliation procedure."@en1
