"Mr President, on the subject of commercial arrangements between Ryanair and the airport of Charleroi in Belgium, may I remind the European Commission that it tolerated airline monopolies and exorbitant prices for air travel in Europe for years. Ryanair has helped to reverse air price arrangements in Europe; it has secured favourable deals from private airports.
Surely in this era of competition we should permit public airports to compete with private airports for the generation of air travel business, because at the end of the day it will mean cheaper air prices for consumers. This in turn will send out a positive message from the European Union that it is actually supporting measures which promote air travel at a competitive price and help the consumers of Europe.
Before Ryanair started to fly to Charleroi Airport it was a deserted field and now Ryanair flies 2 million people in and out, to the satisfaction of consumers using this invaluable air link."@en1
