lpv:translated text	"Mr President, information provided by the International Civil Aviation Organisation shows that the airline industry in Europe transports over 320 million passengers each year. This means that around 110 000 aircraft produce emissions that irreversibly pollute the air every day. It is estimated that by 2050 the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere by the airline industry will reach 5% (in 2000 this figure stood at 2%). In accordance with Eurocontrol forecasts, by 2020 the number of flights in the European Union will more than double compared to 2003. This data shows that the negative effects of the growth of the aviation industry outweigh its benefits for society in terms of technological progress. We have to try to limit these harmful effects on the environment while maintaining the principle of competitiveness within the growing cheap airlines market, as these airlines have become incredibly popular in Europe. We should also remember that the air transport sector generates around four million jobs, and that is why it is vital to carry out a detailed investigation into the influence of the airline industry on air pollution and the increase in noise levels. However, the main pressure should be placed on trade in emission permits and the creation of an appropriate system for enforcing this method. The system for trade in permits for aviation should cover all flights to and from all airports on European Union territory, regardless of the country of origin of the airline. If possible, it should also cover intercontinental transit flights passing through European Union airspace."@en1
