".
According to non-governmental organisations, this is the first Community-level regulatory instrument specifically geared towards the 50 million or so disabled persons in the EU.
The purpose is to ensure that disabled persons (as Parliament proposed) and persons with reduced mobility have access to air transport.
The regulation before us establishes rules to protect and to provide assistance to disabled persons and persons with reduced mobility travelling by air. This will be achieved by protecting them from discrimination, and by ensuring that they receive assistance at departure, transit and arrival airports, which should be provided at no additional cost to the passenger.
Further initiatives include a range of measures to inform disabled persons and persons with reduced mobility of their rights. We welcome the idea of training ground staff and flight crew, and of ensuring that the necessary infrastructure and aircraft are in place for the service to be provided.
We voted in favour of this initiative."@en1
