European Parliament
Bordes, Cauquil and Laguiller (GUE/NGL ),
in writing.
(FR)
We would have voted in favour of those amendments seeking to provide better compensation for passengers, but since all the amendments are in practice voted on
en bloc
, we did not want to back those which exempt certain service providers, such as tour operators, or which aim to reduce the obligations of the airlines. In particular, we are opposed to the latter not being liable in the event of strikes. It would, in fact, be inconceivable that airline employers should escape their obligations when it is their own wage and employment policy that is the cause of such strikes.
