Mr President, as has become clear we asked that question because Regulation (EC) No 925/99 on the reduction of aircraft noise must enter into force very soon, while in the meantime there are ongoing talks between Mrs de Palacio and the US, which has found the regulation, which was approved by the Council and Parliament, disturbing and is calling for its withdrawal and suspension.
Hr. formand, det er tydeligt, at vi har stillet dette spørgsmål, fordi forordningen 925/99 om en støjdæmpning af fly meget snart bør sættes i kraft, skønt der stadig foregår forhandlinger mellem fru de Palacio og den amerikanske side. Den amerikanske side føler sig generet af denne forordning, som Rådet og Parlamentet har godkendt, og den beder om, at den bliver trukket tilbage eller udsat.
