I feel I have to support this report, which seeks approval for a proposal that is aimed at providing the Community with a valid instrument protecting the interests of a vital sector of the European economy, which is the provision of airline services.
The severe distortions of international competition in this sector, caused in part by the substantial subsidies given by several Member States to their own airlines, fully justify the Commission’s initiative to provide the Community with an instrument for reaction, based on the model that already exists in the private sector. Where there is evidence that a given subsidy is causing undue damage to the Community civil aviation industry, it will be possible to open an inquiry and thus clarify the situation, so that the foreign companies in question may be required to pay compensation.
The European airlines’ scepticism as to the effectiveness of this instrument, due to the difficulty in proving that carriers from other, non-Community countries are operating unfairly by setting their ticket prices too low, will depend only on the Commission’s ability to put this instrument into practice."@en1
