"I voted in favour of the report on the proposal for a decision of the Council and the representatives of the governments of the Member States of the European Union, meeting within the Council, on the conclusion and temporary implementation of the Air Transport Agreement between the European Community and its Member States, on the one hand, and the United States of America, on the other hand (8044/3/2007 –– C6-0210/2007 –).
Mr El Khadraoui rightly pointed out the importance of creating an Open Aviation Area between the EU and the US, thus allowing the emergence of a single market for air transport between the EU and the US. I support the view that this would enable investment to flow freely and EU and US airlines to provide air services without any restriction, including in the domestic markets of both parties. That represents a mayor step forward.
It was entirely appropriate to raise the issue of environmental protection in this context. The aviation sector has several negative environmental effects, in particular as a source of noise and as a contributor to climate change. I therefore agree with the provision calling on both the EU and the US to take effective measures to reduce the negative environmental impact of aviation."@en1
