The Commission has organised three meetings with the national control bodies – on 19 May 2005, 17 February 2006 and 14 September 2006, which is very recent – with a view to strengthening the coordination among the various Member States and to harmonising the application of the provisions of the regulation concerned.
In the meantime, we have established a question-and-answer-type information document that will make it easier for the national control bodies to deal with the data on a daily basis. This document was distributed in July 2006.
As I said to you, Mr Tarabella, thanks to this critical mass of information, I could actually propose, with the communication that I am going to present before Parliament in prospect, a number of improvements enabling us to ensure that the new law that we have created to benefit passengers is properly applied. I would say to you once again: the Directorate-General for Transport has handled 5 623 letters, which means that we can already identify certain trends.
I must say, for example, that we were pleased to observe a sharp decline in the practice of overbooking.
You are right, though: the events that took place this summer must also be taken into account. Once I truly have an overall view of things, I hope to be able to come before this Parliament and to explain to it both what improvements have been made and what remains for us to do to ensure that these new rules are applied effectively.
I am grateful to you for having asked that question; it is also an incentive for me to demonstrate even greater vigilance."@en1
