lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, I have listened most attentively to your statement on air safety in a context that is particularly difficult for France after the Sharm el-Sheikh disaster and I have heard your concerns. On my own behalf and on behalf of the members of the French delegation of the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats, I want to express our most sincere condolences and our solidarity with the victims’ families. Since it has not yet been possible to analyse the aircraft’s black boxes, it would be irresponsible to draw premature conclusions about this tragedy. For the present, there is nothing tangible that would allow us to call into question either the condition of the aircraft, the professionalism of the Egyptian charter company Flash Airlines, the earnestness of the Egyptian civil aviation authority or the reliability of the technical controls that were carried out on that aircraft. From what we know at present, even the hypothesis of an attack cannot be ruled out completely, even if it seems highly unlikely. However, it seems to me essential that European users of air transport should be given every guarantee to reassure them. I would like to take advantage of this session, Commissioner, to pass on to you some of the most frequent questions concerning charter airlines in particular. Would it not be possible to require European tour operators to inform tourists who use their services of the precise identity of the airline they will be travelling with at the time they buy their tickets? In order for European tour operators to be better assured of the level of safety of the airlines they work with, would it not also be desirable to go beyond the random checks that are currently made? Would it not be advisable to recommend real in-depth technical audits of airlines that are not European but which are used by our tour operators?"@en1
