"Against. In the framework of a Commission communication on airport capacity, linked to the airports package, the British part of the ECR insisted in the Committee on Transport and Tourism (TRAN) on producing an own-initiative report on regional airports, i.e. to demand more support from the EU for regional airports. The report does indeed put the focus on more support for regional airports, such as considering them in the TEN-T Regulation, but not applying the EU’s safety and security or environmental rules. It stresses the economic importance of these airports for the regions concerned, repeating the motto of ‘growth and jobs’. We (Greens/EFA) tabled amendments on 2020 targets for CO emissions, connecting regional airports as much as possible with rail therefore, with the intention of obtaining a modal shift towards rail. We also proposed more coordination, cooperation between trans-border airports in close proximity to each other and better insight in EU cofunding in their favour. Unfortunately, our formulations were rejected by the TRAN Committee. No amendments being possible for the plenary vote, we were forced to vote against this report during the single vote in plenary (Rule 138)."@en1
