"In the last 10 years we have developed a series of EU passenger rights, regardless of the mode of transport, to ensure a minimum level of protection, thereby facilitating mobility and at the same time creating uniform competition conditions for carriers. Unfortunately, these rights are still not being applied completely and correctly, either by carriers or by national authorities. It is therefore vital to revise the current legislation in order to make it clearer and to strengthen passenger rights, particularly the right to information on their rights and how they can exercise them. Effective and efficient application of these rights can only be guaranteed if they are actively and effectively monitored by national enforcement bodies. Passenger rights are therefore based on three pillars: non-discrimination, accurate, timely and accessible information, and immediate and proportionate assistance. I therefore support this initiative which, as one of the measures included in the communications on a Single Market Act, lists the rights and principles applicable to all modes of transport, while making distinctions due to the specific characteristics of each mode of transport, and identifies the areas in which greater convergence must be achieved as well as current shortcomings."@en1
