EU Pushes For Airline 'Blacklist'

Would Focus On Aircraft Grounded For Maintenance

The European Union Commission will soon introduce a list of airlines that aren't safe to fly -- a blacklist of carriers whose aircraft are grounded for safety reasons.

Authorities in France, a country that lost 152 citizens in the crash of a West Caribbean MD-82 in Venezuela earlier this week, said there is growing support among EU countries for such a ban.

"As soon as the European Parliament has ratified this agreement, we think the European air safety agency will be able to organise this information sharing," Transport Commissioner Jacques Barrot told France's Inter-Radio. "It would have to take the form of a blacklist, as in the United States," he said, quoted by Reuters.

French Transport Minister Dominique Perben agreed. "We must manage to set up what they call a 'blacklist' of airline companies. Obviously we need the agreement of all 25 member states, I'm pushing hard, like Jacques Barrot, like Germany, like Italy, like Britain."
