"In a Single European Transport Area, clear and comprehensible uniform rights for EU passengers are essential. Individual passenger rights have already been established at the European level for all modes of transport. In the aviation and rail sectors, these are already in force. They will apply to passengers travelling by ship from December 2012, and to coach and bus travel from March 2013. This report is to be welcomed as it draws attention to the remaining problems relating to passenger rights.
Among other things, the strengthening and clarification of rights are essential. Enforcement of these rights is often problematical and transparency must be increased, as travellers are still not receiving adequate information about their rights to compensation and reimbursement. Information campaigns are a good way forward here. Enforcement can also be improved with clear rules on the establishment of national authorities tasked with guaranteeing harmonised implementation of passenger rights in all Member States.
The Commission is already planning a reform of passenger rights at the end of this year. In doing so, it should take the European Parliament’s proposals to heart so that passengers’ rights are clear and unambiguous, with no further need to consult a lawyer for an interpretation, and to enable these rights to be enforced in a uniform manner throughout the EU."@en1
