lpv:translated text	"Mr President, again today I think that numerous honourable Members are not particularly satisfied within themselves with the agreement which we have before us. I understand the reasons for their reactions; however, if they themselves go back a bit, six or seven years back, and look at where we were then, they will see that we have before us a very important step, a very important step for Europe, a very important step for the European citizens. As you too, Mr President, were personally involved in the conciliation procedure, you will understand, I think, better than anyone, that a very important step is being taken in the field of restricting delays and, consequently, in this manner we are strengthening air transport, protecting the environment better and efficiently supporting European tourism. Right until the end, we were faced with prejudices either on the part of certain Member States or certain military authorities. You know that, up to the last minute, there was a problem as regards cooperation between military and civil authorities, on the one hand, and there was a problem as regards the way in which single operating sections or blocks are defined at international level. Some steps were taken under pressure from the European Parliament. Perhaps the steps were not taken which should have been taken. Nonetheless, it is better for the European Parliament to agree to what we have before us and to look on it as a first step. Our efforts must not stop here. It is worth our putting even greater pressure on the Member States to become more bold in their approach and, I think, to close my short position, within these frameworks, it would be an oversight if we failed to mention the exceptionally positive role of the European Commission, and the Commissioner in particular, for whom I imagine it is perhaps one of the greatest achievements which she has had in her term of office to date as the Commissioner responsible for transport. We must thank her and congratulate her on that."@en1
