"Mr President, Commissioner, I would like to make a few brief comments with regard to our joint resolution. We are discussing night flights, noise pollution and especially sleeping disorders. As a researcher who has examined the social effects of industrial labour, especially shift work, for years, I appreciate – and this has also been adequately proven scientifically – the seriousness of sleeping disorders and lack of sleep. Against this background, the entire discussion is relatively serious, bearing in mind Mrs Oomen-Ruijten’s comments on “the brink of the night” and the way we are discussing noise pollution, and the lack of harmonisation. In the foreseeable future, we will discuss at great length the more general aspects of aviation and the environment within the committee, including the common noise classification schedules, how to provide economic incentives in connection with noise and how to achieve aircraft noise standards. However, one thing is still lacking from the discussion, namely that we will need the political courage to talk about restrictions, bans if necessary, for night flights during a certain period and reach common agreements on this."@en1
