"Events have overwhelmed legislators. The citizens of Europe rightly expect us to respond swiftly and flexibly to recent events. For this reason, I support the proposal of a Community-level list drawing European citizens’ attention to airlines that fail to meet safety requirements. I support the proposal that a Community-level list should be drawn up on the basis of common criteria. I urge that this legislation be fast-tracked and drafted as soon as possible.
Many reasons have already been cited, and I would like to add yet another one. A variety of unofficial lists have appeared recently, in the pages of a major French daily newspaper, for example, and on the Internet. This could have consequences that are difficult to predict; it undermines passenger confidence, is liable to misinterpretation and it misinforms. It has happened that the names of a number of audited national air traffic control bodies and airlines that guarantee proper safety standards have also been included in the list published by the newspaper. This is unacceptable. I therefore urge that the legislation should enter into force immediately after its adoption, and that proposals should be put forward for the transitional period as regards any lists countries intend to publish officially at national level. I welcome the Commission’s initiative to extend the powers of the European Aviation Safety Agency and the fact that it wants to speed up the legislation process."@en1
