European Parliament
Bordes and Cauquil (GUE/NGL ),
in writing.
(FR)
In the previous readings, we voted in favour of this report. Indeed, it proposed significantly to increase the guarantees offered to air transport users, even if, as we have already stressed, it strove to show consideration for the airlines’ interests.
As the conciliations and other reforms went along, this document constantly reduced benefits granted to passengers in favour of companies’ profits. Of course, these benefits have not completely disappeared, and it is only so as not to put obstacles in the way of these that we are not voting against this report. Not wanting, however, to sanction this document’s successive concessions to the interests of the airlines, we decided to abstain in the final vote.
