Date: 25/03/1999 By EU GOVERNMENTS are considering postponing a decision on proposed new rules which would outlaw new aircraft equipped with 'hush kits', according to US officials. US Transportation Secretary Rodney Slater travelled to Brussels for a meeting with Acting Transport Commissioner Neil Kinnock and to Bonn for talks with German Transport Minister Franz Münterfering this week to plead for the vote on the ban planned for next Monday's (29 March) meeting of EU transport ministers to be delayed. But the European Commission said it expected the vote to go ahead as planned. The US Congress has warned that if the new rules are implemented on 1 April as planned, it will quickly push through legislation banning Concorde flights into New York's JFK Airport. |
