lpv:translated text	"Mr President, it is clear: everyone has a right to peace and quiet. It is essential as far as public health is concerned. Mrs Roth-Behrendt was quite right to point this out. The problem of noise pollution caused by aircraft is an important political issue, and this is also the case in my constituency in Flanders. We have some serious problems to contend with on this score, such as the extremely noisy aircraft that land at the airport in Ostend. The people in my country are also affected by the problems associated with the noisy night flights into Zaventem. There are four points I would like to bring out in this debate. Firstly, there must be a concerted, world-wide effort to produce more stringent noise standards for aircraft. Secondly, progress must be made in the gradual phasing out of the noisiest aircraft. Thirdly, our own Regulation 925/1999 on hushkitted aircraft must come into force in undiminished form. The fact that we deferred it for a year under pressure from the Americans is a scandal in itself. It was good to see the European Parliament put up a fight there. I welcome the position adopted by Mrs de Palacio, and I am pleased that the regulation will enter into force on 4 May. That is a positive development. Fourthly, I support Mr Sterckx in his analysis, when he talks about mutual distrust between the United States and the European Union. Mr De Roo was right to point to the pernicious influence exerted by the firm Pratt and Whitney. The ball is now clearly in the Americans’ court. They must withdraw the complaint they filed under Article 84 of the ICAO. I support the resolution that we are to vote on tomorrow and I appreciate the constructive approach taken by the Commissioner."@en1
