  • T4-0081/1998 summary

    Adopting the report by Mr Mathieu GROSCH (PPE, B), the European Parliament approved with a number of amendments the Commission proposal. Parliament considers that, in the event of an emergency, the assistance of all crew members is needed and, for this reason, all cabin crew members need to have full safety competence. The amendments adopted seek to: - ensure regular medical examinations every 12 months for cabin crew members; - require Member States to lay down the transitional provisions for the recognition of the training of cabin crew members six months after entering the force of this directive; - require Member States to provide the Commission with a list of the organizations they have approved and the content of their training programmes; - widen the scope of the annual training programme. �

• 1998/02/18 Debate in Parliament
  • Debate in Parliament summary

    Highlighting that only 10% of air accidents occurred within the EU area whereas this region actually saw 30% of the world’s air traffic movements, Commissioner Kinnock shared the rapporteur’s view that the highest possible safety standards needed to be maintained and that the professional competence of cabin crew needed to be assured. As a result, he confirmed the goal of constantly reducing the accident risk threshold until this was as close to zero as possible. While welcoming the report in question, Mr Kinnock said that he could accept only Amendments Nos 4, 5 and 8 and rejected Amendments Nos 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9-12, 13, 14-17 and 18.
