The European Union banned Venezuelan state airline Conviasa on Tuesday from flying in the 27-nation bloc over safety concerns in a move that Venezuela's government said was disproportionate.

The European Commission said in a statement that Conviasa was added to its latest list of carriers banned from operating in member states "due to numerous safety concerns arising from accidents and the results of ramp checks at EU airports."

Siim Kallas, a senior EC official, said the Commission stood ready to help countries overcome any safety difficulties with their airlines as quickly and as efficiently as possible.

Conviasa had been operating a twice-weekly service between Caracas and Madrid. Most of its flights are to domestic destinations and cities within South America and the Caribbean.
