"When properly located, and provided with security conditions and a network of connections with other modes of transport, regional airports play a key role in the European Union’s territorial, economic and social cohesion. It is easy to understand that not all cities can have an airport. However, there are regions, especially the outermost regions, or peripheral or island regions, where airports are the only effective means of linking them to the rest of Europe. EU policy in this regard should be to promote the supply of rigorous public services that prioritise security. It should not permit the proliferation of regional airports but should create an interlinked system that makes the market more competitive and promotes regional development, by accelerating the implementation of the European air traffic management system (SESAR), the Clean Sky initiative and the enforcement of Single European Sky legislation. I voted for this report because, in the context of the economic crisis and the budgetary consolidation efforts through which we are living, it appeals to common sense for achieving a balance between the social and territorial needs of a given region, and each airport’s need for competitiveness and financial balance."@en1
