".
I will be voting for this report on reducing the climate change impact of aviation. Aviation is one of the most rapidly growing sources of greenhouse gases.
In terms of raising this important issue, I agree with the rapporteur almost entirely. Nevertheless some of her proposals, for example the immediate introduction of kerosene tax on VAT or all intra-EU flights or the establishment of a separate emissions trading scheme for aviation, have neither been costed nor impact-assessed.
Equally, the problems of peripherality in my own region of South-West England mean that special attention must be paid to the most isolated areas, such as, in my region, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. In the case of Gibraltar, a particular complex of geographical and political isolation has been caused by the attitude of the Spanish authorities. Therefore I look forward to the Commission using this report as the basis for bringing forward costed and workable proposals for action."@en1
