Cypriot Presidency Outlines Transport, Maritime, and Tourism Priorities

The Cypriot Presidency's Ministers of Transport, Maritime Affairs, and Tourism presented their priorities to the European Parliament's Committee on Transport and Tourism (TRAN).

In the transport sector, key priorities include achieving clear decisions on passenger rights (particularly air and multimodal travel, as well as people with disabilities), supporting a cleaner and safer road network, and promoting the green transition in transport. The Cypriot Presidency is committed to building on the progress already made in negotiations regarding passenger rights.
