".
The creation of the Single European Sky, to allow optimum and unified use of European airspace, in the light of the fact that the sky has reached saturation point, resulting in delays to flights, is based on a good intention.
The fragmentation of European airspace,however, is not the only cause of the delays. The commercial practices of the airlines who increase the number of shuttle services using small aircraft on the most profitable routes is also largely to blame.
The harm done to the principle of subsidiarity by the requirement for organic separation between the regulator and the operator prevents Member States from organising their national air traffic control systems in the way that they would wish, possibly within the second pillar of the CFSP with, as its corollary, harmonisation with NATO.
Thus the Commission’s proposal seeking to modify the way in which airspace is shared between civil and military use should not give precedence to purely commercial interests to the detriment of security.
What will be achieved if the Community duplicates the powers of Eurocontrol? Its current operation is organised efficiently as far as security and the control of traffic flow are concerned.
Will we not be creating a technocratic and administrative monster, which yet again distances the average citizen from the decision-making process?"@en1
