"Mr President, installations at risk, such as nuclear power plants, flood-control dams, ports, oil depots, extremely tall buildings and research centres for biological warfare and for genetic manipulation will never lose their appeal for terrorists. That is why we must ensure that the number of installations which can threaten the life of human communities and of our environment is reduced to a minimum. Instead of subsidising airline companies with tax money, enabling them to continue pulling off stunts involving low prices, it would be preferable to completely close vulnerable regions to air traffic. Moreover, vulnerable airports near cities or with insufficient security provisions in place, as in the recent case of Linate near Milan – an airport that should have been closed down years ago – should not have a future.
The unbalanced pursuit of economic growth, freedom for airline companies and the rolling back of government has, in connection with the sad events of 11 September, led to too little attention being paid, on the one hand, to the risk of industrial buildings collapsing and, on the other hand, to government supervision of access to airports by people with malicious intentions. It is not the first time that I am bringing these two matters to the attention of the Commission."@en1
