lpv:translated text	". Hitherto we have established passenger rights in all transport modes. Memorably, the most recent were bus passengers’ rights. Unfortunately, the adopted regulations have not yet come into force in respect of waterborne and bus and coach transport. In view of the continuing growth in the transport sector and the ever increasing number of passengers, equivalent appropriate passenger rights must be guaranteed for all transport modes. This is even more important given that, in many instances, travelling involves not just one but several different transport modes. For that reason, it is important for the simplest possible ticket booking and travel arrangement to be guaranteed so that passenger rights are protected throughout the journey. I had expected the report to incorporate the demand for passenger rights in different transport modes to be contained in a single regulation. The single most important aspect of passenger rights in different transport modes is that it is prohibited to discriminate on grounds of the location or nationality of the consumer or the travel agency. I am also of the view that, where passenger rights are concerned, it is important for full consideration to be given to the rights of the elderly, persons with disabilities or with reduced mobility. Harmonised Europe-wide passenger rights must be available to all. In view of the above, it is my view that this own-initiative report is necessary in order to provide the Commission with clear signals as to the direction that passenger rights must take in order to achieve genuine free movement of persons."@en1
