"Mr President, the consumer rights of air passengers travelling from third countries who are transiting through EU hub airports are being breached. Thousands of EU citizens continue to have their liquid duty-free purchases confiscated because of the failure of the Commission to speedily implement Regulation (EC) No 915/2007, which amends Regulation (EC) No 622/2003 laying down measures for the implementation of the common basic standards on aviation security. Thirteen non-EU countries have applied for recognition under the Regulation, but only one has been approved.
I would appeal through you, Mr President, to again ask our new Commissioner, Antonio Tajani, to sort this issue out and implement the regulation as quickly as possible.
Many competitors at the Olympic Games in Beijing – and, indeed, their supporters and families – had goods taken from them transiting back through the main hub airports in Europe when coming home. Again, the complaints have been coming in in their dozens. Please sort this out. It is not in the interests of consumer rights, and it is a farce if we are quoting security reasons."@en1
