ECTAA welcomes the call for evidence for an impact assessment on passenger rights. We are happy to see that reference is made to the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy as well as the report of the European Court of Auditors report on the application of air passenger rights during the pandemic. - B2B refund issues resulting from a lack of regulation thereof.
ECTAA generally supports a robust passenger rights framework that ensures passengers can reach their destination and receive appropriate assistance in the event of disruptions. Strengthening these rights will make rail travel more attractive and contribute to increasing its uptake.
