"Mr President, I would like to thank the rapporteur for his difficult balancing act: the need to protect our air passengers and at the same time maintaining the economic vitality of our airlines. He has done a great job. But what I have to criticise is the failure of the Committee on Transport and Tourism to pass the amendments on Gibraltar.
The problem here is there is simply no justification for excluding Gibraltarian citizens, citizens of the EU, from passenger rights that will apply to everybody else. It is absolute discrimination and an absolute undermining of their fundamental rights as European citizens. Where else would this Parliament allow that to occur? It seems very odd to me that members of the Transport Committee did not take the opportunity offered by my colleague, Mrs Foster, in her amendments, and vote to end this discrimination proposed by the Commission.
I want to add my voice to those today who have been objecting to this gross discrimination. The people of Gibraltar deserve more from the EU and we are here to deliver it."@en1
