lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, the Commission's decision concerning the commercial arrangements which Ryanair has with Charleroi airport is very misjudged. It flies in the face of economic reason and is a serious blow to the development of the low-cost airline industry in Europe. Ryanair has developed Charleroi airport from being a deserted field to catering for over two million passengers a year. Low-cost air travel is supported by the citizens of Europe. The European Commission has yet to explain clearly what it intends to do to support low-cost air travel in Europe in the future. The problem now is the lack of clarity regarding state aid for regional airports in Europe. There is now great uncertainty from the perspective of regional airports across the length and breadth of the European Union with regard to how we are going to develop the low cost-airline industry in the future. The Commission judgment was simply wrong and the Commission has yet to explain the future policy direction for the low-cost airline sector in Europe."@en1
