"Mr President, I would like to start by thanking Mr Lisi on behalf the millions of airline passengers who will benefit due to his work and that of the Parliament and the Commission. The days of waiting helplessly while airlines cancelled, delayed and overbooked flights will soon be over. After years of letting the airlines make the rules, passengers will finally have a legal right to the standard of customer service they deserve.
Regarding the amendments, I urge colleagues to vote against Amendment No 21 from the Liberals. They seek to cut compensation, but compensation surely recognises the level of inconvenience, not the level of the fare.
I hope colleagues will support Amendment No 2. This extends the provision to other modes. I thank the Commissioner for her recent letter to me confirming that she will be taking similar action for high-speed international rail journeys. But what about international ferry journeys and international coach journeys? Will you, Commissioner, support Amendment No 2?
On Amendment No 18 – league tables – airlines should be named and shamed for poor performance. Commissioner, will you support that Amendment?
Finally, I would like to join my southern colleague Mr Booth and speak up for the Isles of Scilly helicopter service. It is an example of a vital link to a group of islands, of which, of course, there are many others throughout the Community. Can we have an assurance, Commissioner, that they will not be penalised for the inevitable technical problems that they encounter from time to time?"@en1
