"I would like to remind the Commissioner that, about one year ago, the European Court of Human Rights ruled in favour of people living near Heathrow airport in London whose sleep was disturbed by night flights, who received confirmation that as it happens this was indeed a violation of human rights. This decision by the European Court of Human Rights could become case-law, to the advantage of people living near airports. I consider, however, that the European Commission should speed up its work to take practical measures with a view to preventing these matters from being resolved through the courts. What we need are effective European measures that would make it possible to decrease exposure to noise for people living near airports, particularly at night.
Commissioner, do you not think that Article 1 of Directive 2002/30/EC, adopted in March 2002, which provides precisely for a reduction in the amount of people exposed to noise, should be more specifically followed by practical measures to reduce the level of exposure suffered by these people?"@en1
