As part of the review of air passengers' rights the EU Commission has tabled a new Article to Regulation (EC) No. 2027/97 that will make it more transparent what charges will apply for passengers who wish to bring baggage onto a plane. I welcome this proposed greater transparency. I acknowledge the right of carriers to maintain their commercial rights to carry passengers at fares and under conditions of carriage that the carriers consider appropriate. I understand also the concerns of retailers at airports and elsewhere but there is evidence of unintended consequences when regulations become over-prescriptive. The review of Regulation (EC) No. 2027/97 is ongoing and my officials and those of other Member States will communicate with the EU Commission as it, the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament finalise an agreed text.
