lpv:translated text	". Unlike trains or buses, aircraft are completely dependent on the uninterrupted operation of their engines for their safety. If these engines fail as a result of technical problems or deliberate sabotage, then the aircraft will crash. In such cases, not only the passengers will be the victims, but also those on the ground where pieces of the wreckage land. We have witnessed this in the deliberate crash in Lockerbie in Scotland and in the air disaster above the Amsterdam district of Bijlermeer that was caused by carelessness and secrecy. Safety is subordinated to the way in which civil aviation is currently being organised. It is based on competition between private companies that wish to acquire the largest possible share of the passenger market at the lowest possible cost and rates. Thanks to the absence of tax on kerosene, they already have the edge on transport on the ground. They prefer to pass on safety costs to the government instead of factoring them into the price of air tickets. Mrs Foster usually acts as the voice of airline companies in this House and wishes, above all, for the aviation market to grow unhindered. I have great difficulty with the continuous series of proposals that are based on the survival of an organisational model that will ultimately lead to uncontrollable accidents."@en1
