Text tabled : A7-0287/2012

  Christine De Veyrac (PPE), in writing. – (FR) I voted for this text, which calls for better protection for passengers in all modes of transport. Often, when passengers encounter difficulties during a trip, they are baffled by all of the existing legislation. Therefore, we are today calling on the Commission to combine in a single text, in the medium term, the provisions on passenger protection. We also call on the Commission to submit a proposal in response to another recurring problem in the transport sector: passenger protection in the event of bankruptcy of a carrier from which they have already purchased a ticket. We can no longer allow passengers to be grounded because of bankruptcy and then deprived of the means to obtain compensation.
