Are all European airlines regulated to the same standard? Do they all go through the same processes of testing the crew, inspecting the aircraft, setting maximum flying times etc? As a passenger, can I assume that all airlines based within the EU are safe to fly?

The reason I ask is that I found an article stating that the Spanish pilots union SEPLA had made claims a year ago that Clickair was `unsafe`
http://www.uk-airport-news.info/heathrow-airport-news-080607b.htm.

Isn`t there a regulatory body that would make Clickair address these issues?

I apologise if these seem like daft questions. I am a very nervous passenger and am due to fly with Clickair very soon. I need to know that I will be as safe on Clickair as I would on any other European or Spanish airline.

Suggest you have a look at the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and Joint Aviation Regualtions (JAR) websites.
