".
I voted, of course, in favour of this proposal for legislation aimed at implementing a blacklist of unsafe airlines.
What is the spirit of this proposal? To enable passengers to choose their carrier with full knowledge as regards the safety conditions, and to be informed in the event of a last-minute change of carrier.
This task forms part of a broader strategy aimed at enhancing the safety of the booming air transport sector. In 2003, there were 1.7 billion air passengers worldwide, and it is predicted that there will be 2.5 billion in 2015. In Europe alone, the number of air passengers increased by an average 5.5% per year between 1990 and 2003.
This work must be done at European level, in collaboration with the Member States, in order to lay down common inspection criteria. There are still too many disparities, particularly in relation to the controls.
Without taking the place of sky marshals, the Commission must demonstrate ambition, draw attention to the worst performers, unearth any weaknesses and harmonise European legislation regarding air safety. This is a prerequisite in order for air transport to remain what it is: the safest mode of transport."@en1
