Bruxelles pubblica la black list delle compagnie aeree bandite dall'UE

La Commissione Europea ha adottato oggi l'elenco delle compagnie aeree che non possono operare nell'Unione Europea. La black list, la prima in questo settore, .

La lista è stata è stata stilata con il contributo degli Stati dell'UE e la messa al bando e le limitazioni operative - ha spiegato la Commissione - sono imposti esclusivamente sulla base di prove della violazione dei criteri obiettivi e trasparenti pubblicati nel regolamento (CE) n. 2111/2005. Tali criteri - ha precisato Bruxellles - si concentrano principalmente sui risultati delle ispezioni effettuate presso gli aeroporti europei, sull'uso di aeromobili antiquati, obsoleti o soggetti a scarsa manutenzione, sull'incapacità dei vettori aerei di rimediare alle carenze rilevate nel corso delle ispezioni e sull'insufficiente capacità delle autorità competenti per la sorveglianza di un vettore aereo a svolgere correttamente tale compito. Inoltre gli Stati membri hanno segnalato che cinque Paesi dispongono di un sistema di sorveglianza normativa inadeguato.

Una conseguenza importante della lista nera - ha sottolineato la Commissione - sarà quella di eliminare la pratica delle bandiere di convenienza in base alla quale alcuni paesi rilasciano certificati operativi a vettori di dubbia reputazione.

«Ora - ha detto il vicepresidente della Commissione, Jacques Barrot, responsabile del settore trasporti - l'Unione Europea ha un approccio coerente nei confronti della messa al bando di compagnie aeree. Questa black list terrà le compagnie di dubbia reputazione fuori dall'Europa. Inoltre assicurerà che tutte le compagnie aeree che operano nel cielo dell'Europa soddisfino i più elevati standard di sicurezza».

La Commissione ha osservato che, grazie alla sua ampia diffusione, la lista avrà un impatto a livello mondiale ed ha consigliato ai cittadini europei di evitare di viaggiare su aerei di vettori banditi nell'UE in altre parti del mondo.

La lista nera sarà aggiornata almeno ogni tre mesi ed ogniqualvolta verrà ritenuto necessario.
