       In Europe, North Korean airliners have been banned from operating in European countries for six years in a row as part of the European Union's prohibition on 21 states that have failed to pass the safety standards based on the U.S. owned private report. Air Koryo, North Korea's major air flight, can only fly two airliners which they purchased from Russia in 2009. Also, dozens of others operated by Air koryo have considered by EU to be too old for safe operation compare to other airlines. An EU official states that the ban on North Korea can be lifted as soon as the country operates newer planes that allows the safety standards.
 This shows how North Korea is under a poor condition of both economic and political situation. I believe that North Korea seriously needs to advance their technology through communicating with other countries allowing more talks about nuclear weapons to improve the country itself. North must give up its  possession on Nuclear power and start allowing more foreign influences instead of banning all.
