lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Madam Vice-President of the Commission, first of all, I would like to congratulate the rapporteur, Mr Lisi, because I have seen and experienced the intensity with which he prepared his report. It is a difficult report, given that, as we can see, it raises several points which run counter to the Commissioner’s proposal, whereas this committee has generally shared the Commissioner’s criteria. And in this case, we can see that there are certain discrepancies between the Commission proposal and what is now being suggested by the Committee on Regional Policy, Transport and Tourism. I would also like to congratulate the Commissioner, because, regardless of the discrepancies that have been highlighted in the debate today, it was clear from the Commission debate that great courage was required to address a number of requirements from European citizens and users concerning the airlines. And although we do not currently agree, and we do not share the proposals made by the Commission, it has forced us to discuss the subject and try to align our positions. I would also like to say that no sector can or should try to survive on subsidies or by abusing its users. There is no future in that. We are facing – as the sector is aware – the need to restructure the sector. We need to tell the sector that it has one last chance, that we do not agree with the Commission proposals, that we should improve and strengthen previous proposals, make previous proposals stricter, but that the sector must move with the times; it must change, modernise and be able to respond. Otherwise, the citizens, who are our voters, are going to require us to be capable of defending their rights. At the same time, we must also try – and this is the message of the Parliamentary committee – to reach out to the sector during the difficult process of restructuring and modernisation. This is a difficult, complicated economic sector, and we are reaching out to it. I understand the difficulties involved and congratulate both the rapporteur and the Vice-President on having the courage to address this matter."@en1
