"Madam President, the question from the Chair of the Committee on Transport and Tourism is timely and I suspect there is frustration behind it. There were no fewer than three separate reports which included reference to passengers’ hand luggage adopted in 2012. I was the author of the first report which concerned the functioning and application of established rights of people travelling by air and that report was adopted by a large majority.
Concerning hand luggage, we called on the Commission to propose measures which make it possible to harmonise commercial practice so as to protect passengers against excessive restrictions and to allow them to carry on board a reasonable amount of hand luggage. We have heard the horror stories of the travelling public; the Parliament has expressed its wishes. If I heard the Commissioner right, he is going to leave it up to the market and possibly the courts. I simply do not think that is good enough and I really want the Commission to respond to those three separate reports calling for a proactive action."@en1
