"I find the European Parliament’s initiative on the application of the rights of air passengers laudable, and I have therefore voted in favour of the own-initiative report that has been tabled. I believe the air transport sector needs stricter rules to protect consumer rights. In particular, I think it is essential to pay greater attention to the rights of disabled passengers, who must be guaranteed access to a barrier-free environment, and to the safety of infants, who currently do not have seats suited to their physical characteristics. I also find the current legislation lacking with regard to the measures that air carriers must adopt in the event of flight cancellations or severe delays, and therefore I am fully in favour of requiring them to provide information on alternative travel options and temporary accommodation in such cases. Lastly, I would stress the need for greater transparency regarding CO
emissions and better information on passenger rights, because a right can only be called a right, in my view, if it is recognised as such by everyone involved."@en1
