"Madam President, I welcome this debate on drones, and the thoughtful and consultative way in which our report under consideration today was produced. I utterly reject the unhelpful and ill-informed knee-jerk comments of the UKIP colleague opposite. There is a growing consensus among the public and experts that an extended legal framework on drones, for reasons of safety and orderly economic development, is necessary. It is clear that drone technology can be extremely useful – for example, in undertaking repairs and safety inspections in the construction and transport sectors that would be very risky for staff to conduct. However, drones are potentially dangerous aircraft, and there has been a growing incidence of serious accidents and near misses involving their use in Europe and worldwide. It is therefore disappointing that the Commission appears reluctant to regulate properly the leisure use of drones. Speaking for myself, while drones can obviously create high quality jobs, I would be reluctant to see them replacing valued customer-service roles in the delivery and retail sectors."@en1
