WRITTEN QUESTION E-1232/03

by Nicholas Clegg (ELDR) to the Commission

(2 April 2003)

Subject: Member States’ policies on airport expansion

Could the Commission provide a summary of the principal airport expansion plans in Member States of
which it is aware, and give its opinion on whether it considers that the plans are:

1.

2.

sufficiently co-ordinated across the EU;

adequate to deal with the projected increase in air passenger demand over the next 40 years?

Answer given by Mrs de Palacio on behalf of the Commission

(15 May 2003)

The Commission does not systematically compile or administer information on expansion of Union
airports and, as a result, does not have a comprehensive overview of such current or planned expansion as
the subject of airport management and planning falls under the responsibility of Member States.

The Commission recognises that the long term growth of air transport has important implications for the
provision of air transport infrastructure. The Commission White Paper of September 2001 (1) identified
capacity constraints in the air and on the ground as key obstacles to economic growth. In its work
programme for 2003, the Commission has included the publication of a Communication on airport
capacity. In this context, preparations for the definition of a Community policy on airport capacity and
airport efficiency are in progress. As indicated in the White Paper, and in the light of reactions to it, the
Commission examines whether the revision of the existing guidelines on the Trans-European Network for
Transport aiming at concentrating on the most important infrastructure for international traffic and
cohesion on the European continent, may be part of this policy.
