lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr Vice-President of the Commission, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to begin by thanking the Chairman of our Committee on Transport and Tourism, Mr Costa, for his excellent report. His draft introduces provisions that will undoubtedly serve to improve the security of civil aviation. Nevertheless, there are still two points I wish to pick up. Several of you have referred to the first of these, namely the funding issue. We are speaking here of security, not of air safety. In other words, it is not just a matter of protecting users of air transport but all people in Europe who could be the target of attacks in which aircraft are used, as was the case on September 11. It seems unfair, as Mr Jarzembowski said, to burden aircraft passengers with the cost of these measures, especially since they are already overtaxed in a sector where new taxes are being invented all the time, as was the case only recently with the introduction of a tax on air tickets in some countries. I therefore believe that it would be preferable not to make air travellers foot too much of the bill for these measures. The other point I should like to raise concerns the obligation contained in Amendments 41 and 42, which would require Member States to consult and inform the Regulatory Committee before applying their own security measures. Although I understand and respect the idea of transparency that underlies these amendments, I wonder about the practical applicability of such proposals. If it is necessary to wait for the committee to be convened, informed and consulted every time an airport wants to deploy an additional security guard, I am not sure whether an obligation that took so long to fulfil would be conducive to aviation security. It would certainly be preferable to strike a better balance between the need for transparency and the need to act quickly."@en1
