"Once upon a time there was a white dove (Europe) and a wicked eagle (the United States). The fairy tale told in this report would not even convince a child that the United States is the only country to subsidise its airlines. Are we to believe that the European Union does not likewise subsidise the European Airbus consortium amongst others! Are we to believe that Member States do not support their airlines, whether they are in public or private hands!
Let the Commission publish the accounts detailing the huge direct and indirect, acknowledged and unacknowledged subsidies that the European Union and the Member States grant to the aviation and aeronautics sectors and their shareholders!
The wording of this report is hypocritical and its content scandalous. We did not support it because we are opposed to the so-called compensations the report recommends. These are actually nothing more than further subsidies for the capitalists of the aviation industry. Above all, we reject your entire system based on competition and commercial conflict, which come at a high cost to society."@en1
