"Mr President, I would like to speak about the latest discrimination affecting new Member States. The Strasbourg session of the European Parliament is always a serious ordeal for the Members of the European Parliament. Many MEPs can only access Strasbourg via Frankfurt. This means an exhausting two and a half hour coach trip.
We now have a further inconvenience added to those experienced so far. Passengers travelling with airlines of new Member States now have to pass through security checks twice at Frankfurt airport, while other passengers go through them only once. It is quite interesting that passengers travelling to Afghanistan must only go through security checks once, while those travelling to the capitals of new Member States, such as Tallinn, Riga, Vilnius, Warsaw, Prague, Bratislava, Budapest and Ljubljana must go through two security checks.
This is an example of further open discrimination against the airlines of new Member States and passengers travelling to these countries, because it increases the costs incurred by airlines. I would like to ask the German MEPs to help put a stop to the discrimination against new Member States."@en1
