lpv:translated text	". There is a noticeable tendency to scale up in all areas in which the EU is involved, and it often results in a decrease in the democratic involvement of the people and a lack of sound, custom-made solutions. This is why I generally view scaling up in a negative light. I would make an exception for aviation, which, in most cases, involves cross-border connections and long distances. To maintain national navigation systems and fragment the airspace into small areas would not be conducive to safety. It would therefore seem obvious to hand over this task as a whole to the existing Eurocontrol that has monitored the airspace of the Benelux countries and western Germany for a long time. This should also apply to military air traffic, which, particularly in France, is still able to occupy an unacceptably large part of the airspace. It is a pity that, now of all times, we are missing the opportunity of having clear and safe management of the airspace. The letting of airspace blocks for a fixed period of time will only perpetuate the old fragmentation in a different form. Geographical fragmentation will make way for economic fragmentation. This is something on which I shall expand when I speak on the report by Mrs Sanders-ten Holte."@en1
