Civil aviation: organisation of working time of mobile workers, agreement concluded by transport associations

The report drafted by Stephen HUGHES (PES, UK) concerning the European Agreement on the organisation of working time of mobile workers in civil aviation was deemed adopted pursuant to Rule 62(5) (Item 1 of Texts Adopted). In adopting the report however, the European Parliament requested the following: - that the Commission urgently bring forward a proposal for a Regulation on flight and duty time limitations with a view to maintaining high operational safety levels and the prevention of short-term crew fatigue; - that the present agreement be considered as an integral part of the Multilateral agreement between the EU and other European countries on the establishment of a European Common Aviation Area; - that the Commission keep to the implementation period of two years proposed by the Commission, and in any case to ensure that this agreement comes into force before Directive 2000/34/EC, amending Directive 93/104/EC. �
