could the countries involved impose same restrictions on EU carriers?
Indeed they could. Then from where would they get the Mercedeses, champagne, caviar, pate, Rolexes and all the accoutrements so beloved by wabenzi? Cuba????

Instead of being springloaded to the "oppressed" position, maybe you should take a hard look at this list. Fifty airlines from DRC alone flying to Europe and busting regs. WTF? Does every Congolese over the age of 15 run his own airline?

Have you ever heard of flying a "flag of convenience"? Like the convenience of having oversight authorities who check nothing except the contents of the brown envelope?
