".
We rejected those of Parliament’s amendments that sought to liberalise and deregulate air transport in Europe. For all that, we are not satisfied with the position of the Council, which rubber-stamps the abolition of the concept of a public-interest mission and public-service obligations. As so often happens on these issues, after consulting the trades unions within the sector, we are resigned to the policy of the lesser of two evils, while at the same time being aware that the Member States, at the Barcelona European Council, chose to deliver a fatal ‘all-liberal’ blow to both users and employees. The question of the Single European Sky should have been raised not from the perspective of seeking commercial advantages but from the perspective of effective harmonisation using as models the best European standards for operating systems as well as environmental and social standards. In this way, this Single European Sky could have been turned into an achievement for all our citizens and not a new market for a minority of industrialists and shareholders."@en1
