"Each Member State currently manages its airspace in cooperation with neighbouring countries. This uncoordinated management of Europe’s airspace is estimated to cost EUR 4 billion per year. The European Union has for many years been considering the need to implement centralised management of Europe’s airspace with obvious consequences for all: safety, speed and economy. In this respect, in 2004 the European Commission launched a highly ambitious initiative to reorganise air traffic by creating the SESAR (Single European Sky Air Traffic Management Research) programme, which forms the technological pillar of the Single European Sky. Since then progress has not matched expectations, which is why it is now urgent to raise awareness among the Member States, so that the difficulties in its implementation can be overcome. At stake is the technological and economic development of Europe (creation of jobs, reduction of CO
emissions, increased safety, more tourism, more competitive industry, and so on). I voted in favour of this report by Jacqueline Foster on the implementation of the Single European Sky legislation because we need well-organised airspace – in which safety is the watchword – and because the implementation of this legislation will make an important contribution to the future of Europe."@en1
