"Mr President, over the last few months of this Parliament we have the opportunity to make a real and lasting improvement to the lives of millions of our citizens. For far too long, some – and I stress some – airlines have obfuscated, obstructed and obscured the rights of air passengers to proper compensation when they suffer serious delays to their journeys. With the revision to this regulation and a new comprehensive list of extraordinary circumstances, we can close the loopholes which have prevented passengers – including many of my constituents – from receiving restitution when delayed by airlines for reasons of poor operational management.
In future, passengers will also have clear and transparent information on hand luggage allowances and reassurance that they will not be penalised for shopping at airports. But despite so many enhancements to passenger rights, there is one glaring reversal: Gibraltar. If the amendments recognising Gibraltar as a European airport are not passed, I cannot in all conscience vote for this legislation, and I urge the House to support those amendments."@en1
