A significant number of European Airports Authorities are subject to social pressure by citizens and Public Administration to take action to reduce airport noise, but no technical solution has been so far successful. EU is going to enforce noise standards. The European Parliament has decided unanimously the "resolution on night flights and noise pollution near airports". The Parliament "is concerned about the persistent and increasing noise levels at some airports which can have a serious effect on the health of local residents" and says "the residential public should not be deprived of sleep by the pressure on commercial operations at airports in the vicinity". The parliament calls on the Commission to draw up proposals for a Community framework on noise classification and considers several measures for noise abatement.
