I share the environmental concerns of those tabling the motion for a resolution. I feel that the EU’s relevant institutions should launch an environmental impact study on civil aviation and look into ways in which it can be reduced.
Nonetheless, I had to abstain. The hasty manner in which the resolution has been tabled removes objectivity from an issue that, in view of its seriousness and its importance to the ordinary citizen, requires close scrutiny by, among others, the transport and environment committees.
