lpv:translated text	"Mr President, airlines and passengers are facing a number of serious problems, which the combined management of the airspace above Europe should be able to resolve. Increased efficiency and handling rates should reduce delays, environmental pollution and avoidable costs to a minimum. We are confronted with a number of complications, prime among which, in my view, is the division between military airspace and civil corridors. It is up to national and military authorities to take up the challenge to end this division. Safety should be at the forefront of our minds during the liberalisation of navigation services. Nobody benefits from lower costs that result in a higher risk for travellers and staff. This is why we endorse the emphasis which Mrs Sanders-ten Holte places on this aspect. The standards for the various services should be as uniform as possible, preferably at global level and at least at European level, where we should draw on the expertise and experience of organisations such as ICAO, Eurocontrol and soon also EASA. I would ask that special attention be given to the enforcement of these standards. In many areas, sound legislation breaks down as a result of insufficient monitoring and enforcement. An adequate draft and implementation of this inspection and enforcement also make it possible for enterprises other than strictly public ones to offer navigation services. Finally, time, capacity and safety all require an improvement in the current situation as a matter of urgency. I hope that the Commission can keep to its ambitious time schedule, which should never be at the expense of the quality and safety of drafts, however. In our view, the rapporteurs have sufficiently called attention to this in their reports, which we can endorse accordingly."@en1
