Amendment (1)
Over the past decades, air transport has played a crucial role in the Union's economy and in the everyday lives of Union citizens, as one of the best performing and most dynamic sectors of the Union economy.
It has been a strong driver for economic growth, jobs, trade and tourism, as well as for connectivity and mobility for businesses and citizens alike, as well as one of the main connector between outermost regions and the mainland, particularly within the Union aviation internal market.
Growth in air transport services has significantly contributed to improving connectivity, fostering cohe­ sion and reducing regional disparities within the Union, in particular for peripheral, outermost, sparsely popu­ lated and insular regions, as well as with third countries, and has been a significant enabler of the Union economy.
The matter was referred back for interinstitutional negotiations to the committee responsible, pursuant to Rule 59(4), fourth subparagraph (A9-0199/2022).
