"I voted against this report because it fails in its stated aims. Decreasing the length of delay after which compensation can be claimed from five to three hours would incentivise airlines to cancel flights in order to maintain their schedule and minimise compensation. Secondly, it would put a disproportionate burden on feeder flights. If adopted, these proposals would lead to a reduction in services (particularly from the regions) and would threaten ‘inter-lining’, thus increasing journey times and requiring passengers to check baggage in and out for ‘connecting flights’. In addition, the proposals would not remove a clause suspending the application of air-passenger-rights legislation to Gibraltar. In 2006, the UK, Spain and the Government of Gibraltar concluded the ‘Cordoba Agreement’ to ensure that Gibraltar Airport was part of the EU’s single market. I share the UK Government’s strong view that Gibraltar is an EU airport and that, in line with the Treaties, all EU aviation measures must be extended to Gibraltar."@en1
