"Madam President, I welcome this own-initiative report on the ‘Single European Sky’; it gives a strong signal from Parliament to the Member States and the Commission. The fragmentation of European air space is estimated to cost EUR 4 billion per year; it is costing jobs and is unnecessarily increasing our CO
emissions. We need a more efficient European air space to relieve congestion around airports and also to meet our environmental challenges.
This is a project where, I am quite proud to say, the United Kingdom is not lagging behind, but all Member States must do their part of the job. A sustainable future for aviation in Europe means that we have to make the right efforts now for our economy, for our environment, to tackle our capacity constraints, to keep our position as a hub in the world but also to remain an environmental world leader. The single sky is one of the alternatives to building new capacity, as are the development of multi-modality and an increased use of regional airports. It is the Member States that now have to deliver on this. We are doing our bit."@en1
