Men når man tager den forventede fordobling af lufttransporten indtil 2015 alene inden for EU i betragtning, er det bydende nødvendigt, at Rådet, Kommissionen og Europa-Parlamentet iværksætter fælles foranstaltninger til at begrænse de miljøskadelige følger af lufttransporten.
With an estimated share of 15%, air transport is, of course, not the only cause of air pollution and by no means the most important. However, bearing in mind the forecast doubling of air traffic by 2015 within the EU alone, it is positively essential for the Council, the Commission and the European Parliament to take joint measures to limit the environmentally harmful impact of air traffic.
