lpv:translated text	". As a result of the liberalisation of air transport in the European Union at the beginning of the 1990s – which was in fact based on legislative proposals from the Commission – we can see the extent to which competition has increased between the various airlines in the European Union and how users are benefiting from lower prices and better supply. In this context, a new phenomenon has appeared: that of the so-called low-cost airlines. The Commission considers this to be a positive development: it increases supply for passengers, results in greater economic activity and possibilities for consumers, and offers opportunities for lower costs. The Commission’s action seeks to ensure that this development continues through the strict application of the rules on competition and State aid. To this end, I must point out that our task is not to support one sector or another, but to provide balanced standards that allow for the development of the various types of aviation activities: the traditional companies with their style of business, and the new companies, described as low-cost companies, which have a somewhat different market and which have undoubtedly generated a significant increase in competition, supply and opportunities for users."@en1
