".
I warmly welcome the excellent report on passenger rights in all transport modes, which provides for clear and accurate information, transparency in ticket prices, assurance in the event of airline bankruptcy, the creation of a centre for claims and an EU-wide free direct line. Particular attention is paid to the needs of persons with reduced mobility who may, at times, be forced to pay in cases where there are inadequate facilities, and to the development of intermodal transport. I am also pleased by the inclusion of the request that the Commission should address the proliferation of unfair clauses in air carrier contracts, such as the unfair requirement that passengers must use both parts of a return air ticket in order. When the rights of passengers using coach/bus transport, dating from 2011 and not yet entered into force, are adopted, the European Union will have an integrated set of fundamental passenger rights in all transport modes. Even though the Commission takes the view that it is too soon, at this stage, to provide a single regulation covering passengers in all transport modes, I hope that Parliament’s requests will be heard by the Commission, since unfortunately we still see cases in which the rights of European travellers are inadequate."@en1
