lpv:translated text	"Freedom of movement is a fundamental European right, and the European Commission must immediately adopt strict measures to ensure the rights of passengers. As recommended by the rapporteur, the Commission must introduce penalties to ensure full price transparency and put a stop to unfair commercial practices, such as imposing ‘non-optional costs’ or unreasonable restrictions on hand luggage. I agree that the Commission should provide a clear and unambiguous definition of the ‘extraordinary circumstances’ that can affect services and for which carriers are not liable. The rights of passengers are often infringed because carriers wrongly invoke ‘extraordinary circumstances’ in order to avoid their obligations with regard to passengers’ rights. Evidently, the current laws are not being implemented properly and that thus creates uncertainty for passengers. Passengers are not made aware of their rights and they are by no means happy about the time and cost involved in obtaining enforcement of their rights."@en1
