".
Naturally we are in favour of maximum air safety. We have, however, abstained on this report as it only addresses this matter from the point of view of the airlines and airport management bodies. As the rapporteur points out, it is also significant that the directive does not put forward a single measure with regard to the safety of communities living near airports.
The European Parliament and Council consider this to be a question, principally, of establishing a unified system that will allow the European Union to exclude less safe aeroplanes from its airports and also to prevent certain Member States from being tempted, for commercial or other reasons, to be less strict with regard to the necessary controls. All well and good. The rapporteur, however, sees this as a means of restoring a feeling of safety among passengers, which will greatly benefit the airlines.
At the same time, the European authorities are preparing to take serious safety risks with their Single Sky Project. These same European authorities can take all the steps they like – that may well exclude African, Latin American or Eastern European planes – but with the Single Sky and their privatisation projects, conditions in the European sky are going to end up more like a third-world sky."@en1
