Cieľom spoločných pravidiel je zaručiť minimálnu pomoc cestujúcim v každom druhu dopravy v prípade výrazného meškania alebo zrušenia cesty, a predovšetkým chrániť najzraniteľnejších cestujúcich. Týmito pravidlami sa tiež vytvárajú mechanizmy odškodnenia. V železničnej alebo cestnej doprave sú však možné rôzne výnimky a naďalej často dochádza k súdnym konaniam.

Vytvorenie jednotného trhu leteckej dopravy v druhej polovici 90. rokov 20. storočia zásadne zmenilo odvetvie leteckej dopravy a významne prispelo k silnému rastu leteckej dopravy v Európe v priebehu uplynulých 20 rokov.

Politika EÚ v oblasti železničnej dopravy sa zameriava na vytvorenie jednotného európskeho železničného priestoru. Od otvorenia hospodárskej súťaže v tomto sektore v roku 2001 boli v tomto odvetví počas desiatich rokov prijaté tri balíky a jedno prepracované znenie. Štvrtý balík, zameraný na dokončenie jednotného európskeho železničného priestoru, bol prijatý v apríli 2016 (technický pilier) a v decembri 2016 (trhový pilier).

Unmanned aerial vehicles – drones – are a rapidly evolving high potential sector. They require an adequate legislative framework to ensure that the services they can provide thrive in the EU internal market while meeting security and safety standards. The European Commission's 'drone strategy 2.0' is a key milestone along this road.

In July 2021, the European Commission put forward the 'fit for 55' package of legislative proposals, aimed at ensuring the success of the European Green Deal. The FuelEU Maritime regulation is one of these proposals and, together with four other proposals, it seeks to steer the EU maritime sector towards decarbonisation. To support the uptake of sustainable maritime fuels, the Commission proposes to limit the carbon intensity of the energy used on board ships. Accordingly, the proposal sets a fuel ...

On 14 July 2021, the European Commission presented the 'fit for 55' package of proposals to help reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55 % by 2030, compared with 1990 levels. The package includes a proposal to revise the 2014 Directive on alternative fuels infrastructure and turn it into a regulation. In the draft regulation, the Commission proposed binding targets for electric vehicle charging points and hydrogen refuelling points, electric charging for stationary aircraft at airports ...

For over 30 years, the EU has been pursuing the objective of developing an efficient and competitive EU-wide railway network, the single European railway area. By integrating national rail systems, rail should become more competitive, ultimately allowing transport to become more sustainable. Efficient, safe and interoperable rail services need train drivers who can work seamlessly across borders and across operational and language barriers. In the absence of an EU-wide certification scheme, however ...

The European Commission work programmes for 2021 and 2022 envisaged proposals to revise the core building blocks of the EU's maritime safety legislation, such as the Directives on Port State and Flag State Control, the Directive on Accident Investigations, and the Regulation founding the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA). This implementation appraisal starts with a recap of the existing EU policy and legislation on flag States and accident investigations, then reviews and summarises existing ...

Since 2021, the European Commission has been planning to make proposals to revise the core building blocks of the EU maritime safety legislation, such as the Directives on Port State Control and Flag State Control, the Directive on Accident Investigations and the Regulation Founding the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA). This implementation appraisal starts with a recap on the existing EU port state control policy and legislation and then reviews and summarises existing evaluations and discussions ...

Road transport is a major contributor to climate change, and CO2 emissions from heavy-duty vehicles have grown by 29 % since 1990, accounting for over a quarter of road transport CO2 emissions. On 14 February 2023, the European Commission tabled a legislative proposal to revise Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 setting CO2 emission standards for new heavy-duty vehicles in the EU. The proposed revision would expand the scope of the regulation to include urban buses, coaches, trailers and other types of lorries ...
