". – It is time that the EU acts in European airlines' interests since they are one of the most severely affected industries of the events of 11 September. I fully support this report, therefore, which aims to lift the financial burden for paying for increased security that airports and airlines currently face. If Europe's airlines are to stay competitive with their American counterparts, they cannot afford to shoulder the additional burden that 11 September has thrown at them. Indeed, in the present climate where American airlines enjoy massive financial handouts, tax breaks and state aid, it is grossly unfair to expect Europe's airlines to survive, let alone compete, when they are currently compelled to pay for new increased security measures. I also welcome the move to delay the entry into force of this legislation until 31 December 2003: airlines need time to carry out the necessary retraining and to purchase additional equipment."@en1
