    WRITTEN QUESTION E-0600/98 by Panayotis Lambrias (PPE) to the Commission (4 March 1998)

    Subject: Civil aviation safety

    Given the concern felt by public opinion about safety in the wake of the recent air disasters, can the Commission confirm reports by the relevant organisations that the European Union is lagging behind the United States in investments aimed at promoting civil aviation safety,? What measures does it intend to take to remedy this situation?

    Answer given by Mr Kinnock on behalf of the Commission (15 April 1998)

    The Commission is not aware of reports of the sort referred to by the Honourable Member and cannot therefore respond to this part of the question. If the Honourable Member has material relating to such reports he is welcome to provide them for the Commission.

    The Commission has taken a number of initiatives to contribute to an improvement in the already high safety standards of civil aviation in the Union. In particular, the Honourable Member is referred to the Commission Communication on 'Defining a Community aviation safety improvement strategy' ((SEC(96) 1083 final. )) for further details of the actions proposed by the Commission.
