"Mr President, the new slots regulation introduces a framework for the secondary trading of slots for the first time. I would like to draw attention to a particular situation for Ireland.
Aer Lingus currently owns 23 of the slots at Heathrow. Given the increasing congestion at Heathrow, the value of these slots is likely to increase in the future. At the moment the Commission is in the process of examining the latest Ryanair bid for Aer Lingus. I would be concerned that the entry into force of this regulation would encourage Ryanair, if it is successful in its bid, to dispose of Aer Lingus’ Heathrow slots without any consideration of Ireland’s strategic interests. The slots regulation has to include sufficient safeguard clauses to guarantee vitally important connections, such as the Dublin-Heathrow links and also, as other speakers have said, to guarantee peripheral regions as hub airports for the same reason."@en1
