“The state aid that some European countries are discussing with airlines risks distorting competition and creating benefits for some when the sector restarts,” said Carlo Amati of Italian flight attendants union ANPAV.Announcing plans to cut 3,000 jobs on Friday, Ryanair’s Chief Executive Michael O’Leary said he would challenge in European courts what he described as more than 30 billion euros in state aid to flag carrier rivals of his Irish budget airline.
That underpins the ailing south’s demand for joint EU financing to spur a recovery. Otherwise, they fear, not only will they have suffered more severely in the health crisis but will also take longer to get their economies back on track. “The more decentralised these schemes, the more political considerations kick in - whether and what conditions to put on aid, whether states should take on voting shares, what sectors to help - the bigger the threat to the single market,” he said.
You don't say?
Why the surprise? The EU is a monumental financial transfer from the other nations to Germany. And has achieved what it set out to stop. Germany running Europe. Way to go, EU eejits. Way yo bloody go.
Germany did not get deep pockets for free. Other countries were urged to follow suit by the ECB and other EU institutions but failed to do so. Complaining does not help either.
We are all in this together, ask corona.
