"I voted in favour of this resolution, which proposes consistent legislation regarding the rights of passengers in public road transport. Specific measures are thus going to be introduced to enhance the legal certainty, rights and information of bus and coach passengers. From now on, travellers will enjoy the same compensation guarantees as they enjoy in the rail and aviation sectors, in particular, if their trip is delayed or cancelled. This vote is part of the EU’s political will to establish common legislation for users of all modes of transport. I also welcome the application of measures in favour of disabled people and people with reduced mobility: these measures will facilitate their access to road transport. This decision helps remove the obstacles to freedom of movement for those travelling within the European area. Finally, a balance has been struck with the proposal of flexible legislation, which will ensure that haulage companies, which are often small businesses, are not penalised. In my view, these new measures help promote a mode of transport that is accessible to the greatest number of people, especially in the tourism sector."@en1
