<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"The appeals made by a number of European airlines about the transfer of air traffic from Linate to Malpensa could imply that there is a prejudice against the Lombard airport despite the fact that it forms part of the 14 priority projects, that it will soon be opened and that its situation in Europe makes it of strategic importance in North/South routes also in the light of the recent agreement between Alitalia and KLM. Given that so far there have been no additional delays in completing the infrastructures for the new airport, does the Commission not think that:      1.  the problems raised by some European airlines could constructively be resolved by gradually transferring air traffic from Linate to Malpensa without prejudice to the fact that Malpensa should soon become a real European hub, as determined by the European Council in Essen?      2.  the transfer of air traffic from Linate to Malpensa will be beneficial for all European airlines since Linate is at saturation point and no longer able to satisfy demand?      3.  a number of statements about Alitalia's monopoly on the Linate-Fiumicino route are completely unjustified since, as from 25October 1998, Alitalia will operate 492 flights a week between Rome and Milan and 4 other companies will be able to offer a good 672?      4.  any move it makes substantially to change the position it has so far maintained as regards the transfer of air traffic from Linate to Malpensa with the exception of the Milan-Rome route would come rather late and thus be detrimental to free competition between airlines?"
