I voted in favour of this report because the current crisis caused by the COVID-19 outbreak is having a very negative impact on the economic and financial stability of the regions affected by enlargement and the neighbourhood policy. All the EU enlargement and neighbourhood partners are set for a recession this year. Depending on the spread of the virus, as well as of its economic consequences, there is also a clear and imminent risk related to social stability and security within the region and beyond. The decision of the European Commission to use Macro Financial Assistance (MFA) to support the Neighbourhood countries in the context of the COVID-19 crisis at this stage is crucial for our partners and will help them to overcome the health and economic crisis.

I have supported this proposal because the aviation sector is of strategic importance to the European Union, and makes a vital contribution to the EU's overall economy and employment and it is critical that the EU takes action to support the EU sector in this unprecedented times. Lower demand, border closure and temporary restrictions on air travel connections inside the EU and between the EU and large international markets mean that passenger air travel is likely to further decline significantly because of the impact of the COVID-19. As the aviation sector is of strategic importance to the EU we have to ease the impact of this pandemic by introducing an ambitious and coordinated policy response.

Гласувах в подкрепа на настоящият доклад, защото в тази безпрецедентна ситуация породена от COVID-19 трябва да определим специфични и временни мерки, приложими за подновяването и удължаването на валидността на някои удостоверения, свидетелства и разрешителни в областта на автомобилния, железопътния и вътрешния воден и морската сигурност. Кризата с COVID-19 породи извънредни обстоятелства, които засягат нормалните дейности на компетентните органи в държавите членки. Такъв е случаят със свидетелствата за управление на превозни средства, проверките на техническата изправност и лицензите на Общността и за да се гарантира гладкото функциониране на вътрешния пазар се нуждаем от тези временни мерки. Те целят да преодолеят тези ситуации и да гарантират както на правната сигурност, така и на правилното функциониране на съответните актове.
