Amendment 21 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 15
Paragraph 15
15. Emphasises the importance of airport hubs and the urgent need for investments to be made in airport infrastructure in order to increase airport capacity and thus guard against any loss of air traffic to other parts of the world, such as the Middle East and South-East Asia;
Amendment 24 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 15 a (new)
Paragraph 15 a (new)
15a. Points out that, in addition to an increase in the capacity of airports, significant long-term investment in upgrading airport infrastructure is required; stresses, furthermore, that use of the existing capacity needs to be optimised by allocating takeoff and landing slots more efficiently, as provided for in the Airports Package put forward by the Commission; believes that some of the slot-related proposals currently under discussion, such as the establishment of a secondary market and the option of using local rules at airports, would enable airlines to make better use of the capacity available at European airports;
Amendment 41 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 28
Paragraph 28
28. Calls on the Commission to complete agreements with neighbouring countries such as Ukraine, Turkey, Lebanon, Tunisia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Algeria and Libya; points out that the proximity of these countries and their markets and the economic growth that has occurred in some of them in recent times may be seen as a growth opportunity for regional and secondary airports in the EU; takes the view that, given the large amount of capacity at regional airports, such airports can play a part in reducing congestion at the main European hubs, thus making them more competitive at global level;
