"Mr President, this proposal by Mr Jarzembowski seeks to achieve two things: a uniform approach to what is a global problem, and also a solution to the conflict with the United States. Like most Members in this House, I give this proposal my support, but it is only qualified support. There are serious problems with the way in which it is being achieved and also with the nature of the compromise that is being achieved.
I have serious problems with a system which relies on informal negotiations between individual Members of this House, the Council and the Commission. It restrains the role of the elected Members of this House to an undue degree. We must find some fast-track codecision procedure which can be used in these circumstances and fully respects the role of the Members of this House.
Secondly, the people who suffer as a result of the noise levels from aircraft and the operation of airports are the people who live immediately in the vicinity, particularly those on flight paths. We will have to judge this proposal on whether or not their lives improve over the next five years. And while we have a proposal here that the Commission will report back to us in five years' time as to whether we are achieving what we set out to achieve, I hope that the Commission will come back here each year and tell us in what direction things are moving – whether the proposals are working, whether things are getting better or indeed in some cases getting worse – so that we can introduce corrective actions, rather than waiting for five years before beginning to take alternative steps.
I realise that a number of amendments which are good amendments in their own right are going to be rejected here tomorrow, but the Commission and Council should bear in mind that they are being rejected in order to facilitate this agreement, not because we disagree with them."@en1
