"I totally agree with some of the principles expressed in the report by Mr Bradbourn in helping regional airports, especially those located in remote areas or on islands, to develop and strengthen existing links in order to avoid them becoming the exclusive domain of low-cost airlines. It is right to carry out cost-benefit analyses beforehand in order to draw up a national plan for airports and, if necessary, to construct new ones. Good planning can only bring benefits and responses to social and local needs, hence, to the creation of new jobs and services, improving the quality of life of citizens as well as of businesses and, to an even greater extent, of tourism. Let us not forget that tourism is the European Union’s third largest socio-economic activity, representing 10% of GDP and 12% of jobs. In line, moreover, with the strategy on the future of tourism adopted on 27 September 2011, this report makes a considerable contribution to stimulating competition in the tourism industry and to consolidating Europe’s image and visibility as a tourist destination. Finally, I think it is appropriate that regional airports should also be included in the trans-European transport network (TEN-T) guidelines on the same level as ground transport systems, and that they, too, should be eligible for private and public funding."@en1
