Text tabled : A7-0177/2010

  Diogo Feio (PPE), in writing. (PT) Following the success of Community initiatives in the regulation of passengers’ rights on air and rail transport, we now have a proposal for regulation of passengers’ rights on maritime transport and inland waterways. These, as I said about the recommendation that we have just voted upon, state that, irrespective of the means of transport they use, passengers have the right to a good quality and safe service. For this reason, I think this proposal to introduce harmonised rules on passenger rights in bus and coach transport throughout the EU is a positive step. Furthermore, I believe that passenger rights should be essentially the same irrespective of the means of transport used, except where this would be inconsistent with the characteristics of the means of transport in question.
