lpv:translated text	"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, at the heart of the EU’s foreign policy on air transport lies the establishment of an open aviation area between the European Union and the United States of America. This policy is wholly in the interests of capital. It is being used to create through pressure and threats two or three monopolistic aviation business groups within the EU. They will also have the pick of international air transport, while the remaining aviation companies – those that are left – will be regional in nature and their activities will be restricted to within the Member States. The strong pressure and threats experienced by staff at Alitalia, Olympic Airlines and other aviation companies in the Member States are typical of what is now happening. Conflicts were evident in the negotiations with the United States. The resulting agreement and signs of friction can be inferred from the state subsidies to Airbus and Boeing, the prevention of sabotage on internal US flights and the US Government’s refusal to permit the participation in or even the buying out of US aviation companies by European air carriers. The agreement shows the level of compromise between the EU and the United States. This is far from meeting the needs of the people; it will contribute to the increased rate of concentration through buy-outs and mergers of aviation companies. In all these areas, severe problems remain with regard to the protection of personal data as well as that of the environment. For these reasons, we will vote against the proposal for an Air Transport Agreement between the United States and the European Union."@en1
