lpv:translated text	". There is a grave risk that the aviation industry is facing chaos. As various companies charging different rates and offering different levels of service vie for the same busy connections, the chance of carelessness and risk-taking is greater than in public transport on the ground, which has been reasonably well regulated, so far. Moreover, airspace is becoming increasingly crowded, leading to many near misses. The fact that aviation is not only dangerous but also unhealthy is evident from the incidence of thrombosis which occurs in passengers who are cooped up in very confined spaces for long periods of time. That is why I would welcome a body that can unambiguously implement the best possible safety rules in Europe. If we consider twelve years of a ‘Joint Aviation Authority’ to be too non-committal and wish to set up a new body which, in agreement with EU legislation, must achieve the highest security level possible, the question is raised whether this new European agency for safety in aviation should be independent of the European Commission. It is certainly unjustifiable to deregulate aviation traffic in the short term for the benefit of what we call a ‘single sky’, where air safety functions are given to competing companies, existing control services are dismantled and airline companies are in a position to reduce their staffing levels further."@en1
