"I voted in favour of this report because I welcome its primary objective – the strengthening of aviation security, particularly that of civil aviation. The specific aim of this report is to consent to the conclusion of the Memorandum of Cooperation (MOC) between the EU and the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). This MOC is aimed at greater harmonisation of standards and improved coordination of appropriate action. In addition, while preserving the integrity of both parties, the MOC aims to achieve better use of limited resources and avoid duplication of efforts. This MOC has been applied provisionally since 4 May 2011. The ICAO was established in 1994 and today, its 190 Member States work together in the fields of aviation safety, aviation security, air traffic management and environmental protection. Most ICAO standards and requirements are addressed in EU law or even substantially transposed into European law. Therefore, the EU takes a strong interest in contributing to the ICAO policy-making process. This would also help increase the competitiveness of the European Union’s civil aviation industry."@en1
