Krivine and Vachetta (GUE/NGL), in
writing. – (FR) We rejected those of Parliament’s amendments that sought to liberalise and deregulate air transport in Europe. For all that, we are not satisfied with the position of the Council, which rubber-stamps the abolition of the concept of a public-interest mission and public-service obligations. As so often happens on these issues, after consulting the trades unions within the sector, we are resigned to the policy of the lesser of two evils, while at the same time being aware that the Member States, at the Barcelona European Council, chose to deliver a
...[+++]fatal ‘all-liberal’ blow to both users and employees.Comme souvent sur ces questions, après consultation des syndicats du secteur, nous nous résignons à la politique du moindre mal tout en sachant que les États membres ont choisi au Conseil européen de Barcelone de porter un coup "tout-libéral" fatal aux usagers et aux salariés.
