Mr President, Mr Barrot, we are coming to the end of a long - a very long – road for those who have been in Parliament since 1999. We have witnessed the very difficult development of this draft regulation, firstly with the report by Mr Simpson - who is not present in this Chamber, but to whom we must pay tribute - and then with the extremely careful and shrewd work of Mr Stockmann, who has made it possible today to conclude the regulation.
I believe that Parliament, as you said, Commissioner, can pride itself on having given this draft regulation a respectable social complexion.
As you said, the human factor has a major part to play in the field of air safety, as it often does elsewhere. One problem remained to be solved, which might have appeared of secondary importance: the human factor certainly refers to the flight deck crew, but it also refers to the cabin crew. We had difficulty in concluding because we wanted to settle the matter at the end of this second reading and not enter into a conciliation procedure. That is why 37 of us Members from different political backgrounds – I pay tribute to Mrs de Veyrac – acted in what may be regarded as an untimely fashion and tabled a number of amendments aimed at clearly and explicitly integrating subpart O into the scientific assessment and revision work.
I believe that, thanks to Mr Stockmann’s mediation, these amendments finally convinced people that a compromise was possible and persuaded the Council to accept it without going any further.
Consequently, if the compromise amendments, as they were drafted this week, are adopted – I am thinking of Amendments 22, 25 and 19 – then, in accordance with our Rules of Procedure, there is no longer any reason for us to vote in favour of the amendments tabled by 37 Members.
That is therefore my wish, expressed with a sense of our having fulfilled our duty and of our having, in the course of this week, made some decisive progress. I am grateful to the Commission for its openness in this regard."@en1
