"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, Mr Florenz, I think these directives require us to consider in principle whether we want further exemptions for many governmental bodies, as the individual citizen does not, of course, care whether the aircraft causing the noise are civilian or military. This is not, then, about ruling on what measures in terms of military tactics should be under discussion, but only about arranging flights in the context of a noise indicator and an action plan in such a way that overall noise does not exceed the level tolerable by individuals. I believe that we should steer our joint efforts towards finding out what people find acceptable or intolerable and decide on that basis what steps to take. There is a need for more research on this. It has, for example, not yet been ascertained whether an average noise level is dangerous, or individual very high levels. We therefore need even more understanding of causes, effects and connections. Hence, too, our demand that we should not immediately announce a framework directive to which we attach specified noise indicators and limit values. Rather, we should say that we want to obtain the land registers first and then, in three years' time, to adopt appropriate subsidiary directives with quality standards for noise policy. Secondly – and in my view this is at least as important – we should also be carefully re-examining individual noise emission sources in order to find out how, at European level – and perhaps more quickly and more effectively than by means of local action plans – we might achieve a reduction in the noise from aircraft and motor vehicles caused, for example, by their tyres. So we also need noise reduction at the emission sources."@en1
