"Madam President, I am very glad that Mr De Rossa raised this subject. Both of us represent the same constituency. This would be quite a disaster for all the workers and indeed for Ireland. I want to remind the Commissioner that Ireland is an island within the Community. It is very difficult to operate without an airline such as the national airline, Aer Lingus. The United States was very quick to take a decision to support the airlines in their country. It seems to me that the Commission should take an early decision on the necessity to support airlines such as Aer Lingus and Sabena. For Ireland it is an absolute necessity to have a guaranteed source of transport by air to other parts of the world.

I urge the Commissioner to take quick decisions on the issue. Too many people's jobs and families' welfare are at risk unless something can be done in this respect. I appreciate that it is not entirely within your remit to deal with the subject now, but I hope that there will be a positive statement forthcoming from the Commission this week at the latest.
