First Trilogue on Passenger Rights Regulation in Air Transport

The Minister of Transport, Communications and Works, Alexis Vafeades, is participating in the first trilogue in Brussels, during the Cypriot Presidency of the Council of the EU, for the revision of the Regulation on passenger rights in air transport. The trilogue brings together the Council of the EU, the European Parliament and the European Commission, with the aim of reaching a political agreement on the amendment of the Regulation. The Republic of Cyprus, as the Presidency of the Council of the EU, states that it is fully committed to reaching an agreement that will remain faithful to the Council's key objectives, namely to achieve a clear and balanced Regulation. The revision of the Regulation aims to improve the rights of passengers in the event of cancellations, delays or overbooking in air transport.
