TAROM — a de facto monopoly

2.12.2013

Question for written answer E-013622-13
to the Commission
Rule 117
Petru Constantin Luhan (PPE)

Given that TAROM is the only domestic airline operator in Romania and it has decided to suspend some flights without providing any relevant explanations, I would like you to clarify:

• 1.How does the Commission view the lack of competition in Romania’s aeronautical market?
• 2.What is the Commission going to do to ensure that TAROM does not abuse its current status as a de facto monopoly?
