"The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), which has been in operation since 1944, currently has approximately 190 Member States. It is crucial that the EU achieve closer relations with the ICAO by concluding this Memorandum of Cooperation, with a view to enabling closer coordination of its activities in the area of aviation security, as well as of air traffic management and environmental protection. It will thus enable the EU to contribute to the ICAO policy-making process, which is important not only for the competitiveness of its own civil aviation industry, but also in order to achieve a higher level of aviation safety worldwide, as well as harmonising the standards and recommended practices.
I am therefore voting for a strengthened EU position within the ICAO, as well as for the establishment of this framework for enhanced cooperation, which currently only sets out arrangements relating to aviation safety, such as the identification of unsafe air carriers. I hope that, in the short term, it will be possible to extend this cooperation to other arrangements in the field of aviation safety, aviation security, air traffic management and environmental protection, which should be appended to this Memorandum of Cooperation."@en1
