"Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, to begin with I would like to take this opportunity to thank the rapporteur for his work and to congratulate him on the agreement reached with the Commission and the Council. This is about simplifying the rules in a great many areas.
It is far more than that though. I would like to endorse what has been said by fellow Members about the importance of transparency with regard to air ticket prices. That is a great step forwards. It has also always been an important demand from Parliament’s side. Let us be absolutely clear: we have nothing against low prices, but the consumer should in all transparency have a clear idea in advance of the cost of buying an air ticket, inclusive of all costs. The same applies for that matter to all manner of extra services and insurance that customers have to explicitly request. Consequently, Mr Degutis, I am assuming that your report will be able to count on a very great deal of support from Parliament tomorrow."@en1
