In spite of everything, I voted in favour of this report. I would like to give a few words of explanation. As they say, a makeshift solution lasts the longest. We have had a year now to become convinced of the truth of this utterance. When the ban on taking drinks and other liquid items on board aircraft was introduced, we were assured that it was only a transitory requirement. There was shortly to be a review of procedures, and in fact special equipment was to be installed, in the form of detectors that would be able to discover hazardous substances.
None of this followed. What of passengers, meanwhile? Passengers just got used to these inconveniences... they treat them as if they have always existed and are essential. Note that this is exactly how our freedoms and rights are gradually and almost imperceptibly restricted – in other areas, too; not only in civil aviation.
Praise is, however, due to Parliament, and especially to Parliament’s representatives on the Conciliation Committee, who tenaciously defended these principles. Admittedly, their success was not unalloyed, but it is worth emphasising what was achieved."@en1
