The EU has scientific evidence at hand showing that its current pilot fatigue law is potentially unsafe.

Yet, it has been sitting on this evidence for almost one year without action.

Rather than starting immediately to review and change the current law, airline lobbying has paralysed the EU into inaction. Political will at top EU-levels is lacking. European airlines try to impose their "Don't touch EU law" agenda. In the meantime, the EU remains stuck in preliminary considerations on how to move forward.

This is not a responsible way to deal with an issue that concerns passengers' and crews' safety. The EU must act now – and decisively!
