"Mr President, I should like to thank the rapporteur, Mr Stockmann, for the outstanding work he has done in negotiating a more than satisfactory agreement with the Council and the Commission. We can be delighted at this result for a number of reasons. Firstly, this agreement concludes a matter that has been on the table for six years, and it is a good thing to thus be able to avoid the conciliation procedure and a further delay, even though six years is far too long for an area like air safety in which it is crucial to act quickly. Secondly, the amendments on which the Council and the draftsmen came to an agreement take up the bulk of the requests that we made to the Committee on Transport and Tourism. That seems important to me, especially when it comes to the non-reducing clauses, which guarantee that this text will be unable to bring about a reduction in safety in the Member States in which the standards are higher than the basic standards featuring in the regulation. Finally, I am particularly pleased about the provisions that deal with the issue of cabin crew. Together with Mr Savary and a number of our fellow Members, we have tabled two amendments relating to the concerns expressed by this profession. I am delighted to observe that the compromise amendments take account of these remarks and I am convinced that the regulation thus amended is a coherent and balanced text: I hope that we adopt it tomorrow by a very large majority. I should like to point out off the record to our German and Italian fellow Members that I purposely wanted to be brief in order to enable them to follow the last few minutes of this evening's important event."@en1
