"Mr President, regional airports and aviation, if properly integrated in comprehensive regional development policies with a view to taking full advantage of the intrinsic potential of the regions in which they are located, can be an important instrument for supporting that development, by helping to tackle regional disparities. This requires good links with other modes of transport, such as rail or maritime transport, thereby establishing conditions for the mobility of people and goods that take account of essential criteria of environmental sustainability.
However, the development of these services in line with the rationale that the public interest should take precedence is not compatible with the ongoing process of deregulation in the sector, or with the free-market dogma that steers the Single European Sky project and subordinates necessary state intervention and regulation to the hallowed free market-place, even where safety issues are concerned.
I should like to say a brief word on the worrying deterioration of working conditions in the sector. The ongoing deregulation has made social dumping easier for the multinationals in this sector, forcing job insecurity and levelling working conditions down. In this regard, the role played by low-cost airlines is undeniable"@en1
