"Madam President, I take the floor as a Member of the European Parliament representing Cyprus, which was hit by the recent aviation tragedy. Public opinion in Cyprus has been damaged and is trying to come to terms with the fact that 121 lives were lost, including those of many children, and entire families were wiped out.
The demand being made by public opinion in Cyprus and, I believe, in the whole of Europe, is that investigations into the exact causes of accidents should not be restricted. Responsibility must be sought and ascribed where it belongs under conditions of full transparency and without time-consuming delays.
Commissioner, I urge the European Commission not to hesitate in pointing out shortcomings, defects and criminal negligence and not to hesitate in issuing the instructions needed to correct all poorly edited texts. I welcome your presence today, which illustrates your sensitivity, and I welcome the measures you have announced.
In the European Union, we can move towards stricter specifications and enhanced control and prevention roles; at the same time, without being against the liberalisation of the skies, we believe that, because of this liberalisation, additional controls are needed by national civil aviation authorities and additional controls by your Commission of the Member States' national civil aviation authorities."@en1
