"I welcome the resolution that we adopted, in which we expressly call on the European Commission to harmonise passenger rights in Europe in all modes of transport. Although there are six Directives at present, the aim is to create a common core of rights that are applied fairly to all transport modes, taking into account the characteristics of the different modes. That should result in greater transparency because the current situation remains unclear for thousands of European travellers. In emergencies and unforeseen situations, travellers must no longer be helpless and must be able to consult a simple document setting out their rights. It should contain a clear definition of what is meant by ‘extraordinary circumstances’ and should also clarify the rules on carrier bankruptcy. We need to ensure better protection for travellers, who must be assured of being able to return home. All prepaid travel should be reimbursed, too. Measures must be taken to guarantee the transparency of prices on the internet because all too often the initial price is nothing at all like the final price."@en1
