"The situation is as follows: the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is now being given more and more competences in order to guarantee a uniform standard of safety in Europe, and that is most welcome. Its competences are now being extended for a second time. What is not happening, however, is any budget increase for the EASA, nor are other sources of financing being identified. There are two options here. The first option is not to treat all the agencies equally. I would not go as far as some colleagues, who say that if some agencies ceased to operate, no one would notice. The EASA is different: if the EASA has no money, human lives are put at risk.
The second option is third-party financing, which means boosting the EASA's funding through some sort of ticket-based levy. My question is this: which of these two options would you favour?
Madam President, I would also like to make a brief comment outside the agenda, if I may: I fully endorse what our fellow Member from Poland has said regarding the conduct of the sitting."@en1
