". Madam President, over the space of just two weeks, we have seen two Union airlines go bankrupt. The bankruptcy of Panair resulted in 22 000 passengers being stranded throughout the world and the bankruptcy of Malev stranded 7 200 passengers. Despite the European Parliament’s resolution calling on the Commission to prepare a legislative proposal to protect passengers in the event that their airline goes bankrupt, the Commission has, unfortunately, done nothing of substance to date. These new airline bankruptcies are painful reminders of a loophole in passenger protection. In its reply to a question submitted by the Committee on Transport and Tourism just last December, the Commission again appeared to be undecided as to whether or not a proper protection scheme should be enacted for all passengers or if a system should be applied on a voluntary basis. Rescue tickets offered to passengers by third-party companies may help, but we need a permanent legislative solution to this problem and we need it as quickly as possible."@en1
