EU wants airlines blacklist in early 2006

businessweek.com

"AUG. 26 2:42 P.M. ET The European Union, concerned about a spate of plane crashes this summer, hopes to publish early next year a list of airlines barred from flying in the EU due to shaky safety records, officials said Friday.

They said the European Commission will ask all 25 EU governments to provide their national blacklists so they can be turned into an EU-wide listing.

At the moment, it is up to each EU government to make its blacklist public.


Earlier Friday, EU Transport Commissioner Jacques Barrot welcomed Belgian and French decisions to publish their blacklists, calling it 'a good step toward the consolidated European list.'"
