Brussels moves on air passenger rights
3 January 2007A bill of rights for European airline passengers could be redrawn amid mounting evidence the flagship measure is being widely ignored.
Jacques Barrot, European Union transport commissioner, is preparing follow-up action to enforce the air passenger rights law, which was introduced two years ago. The directive’s failure is an embarrassment for the Commission, which saw it as a way of demonstrating the ability of Brussels to improve citizens’ lives.
Under the directive, travellers are entitled to compensation or refunds for delayed flights.
