38. Reiterates its call on the Commission to propose measures for the introduction of common standards for the carriage of hand luggage, so as to protect passengers against excessive restrictions and allow them to carry on board a reasonable amount of hand luggage, including purchases from airport shops;

The proposal establishes new requirements for transparency of information on cabin and checked baggage so passengers must be informed of the exact baggage allowances and of any additional charges on baggage at the time of booking and at the airports.

17. Emphasises the widespread proliferation of unfair contract terms in air transport contracts and an increase in national case law prohibiting certain terms regularly used by airlines; thus urges the Commission to address this issue by black-listing specific unfair terms in the air transport sector; stresses the need to adopt measures to protect passengers against other unfair contractual terms implemented by airlines, such as contractual issues related to mishandled/delayed/damaged luggage, the transferability of tickets, force m ...[+++]ajeure circumstances, the unilateral rescheduling of flights, and the prohibition to use the ongoing part of a return ticket unless based on very limited and objective ‘no show’ criteria; measures should also be adopted to protect the passengers against policies related to the different restrictions on hand luggage and air purchases, for which passengers should not be charged additionally; it must be ensured that passengers should benefit from uniform restrictions on the size and weight of hand luggage;

New common rules on air security. The Commission proposed new common rules for air security: control of access to sensitive areas of airports and aircraft; control of passengers and their hand luggage; control and monitoring of hold luggage; control of cargo and mail; training of ground staff; classification of weapons and other items prohibited on board or into the sensitive areas of airports.

The federal government and Canada’s air industry have focused on introducing measures to toughen security that are highly visible to the travelling public – more vigilant screening of hand luggage, questions as to whether luggage could have been tampered with, requirements that passengers accompany their luggage on flights, and so on.

To ensure that passenger traffic in airports is not held up and to avoid the administrative complications which would be caused by applying different controls according to the destination of passengers travelling on a means of transport visiting extra-Community ports or airports, the Regulation would not apply to: - the cabin and checked baggage of passengers taking a flight in an aircraft that began its journey at a non-Community airport and which pursues it between two Community airports; - 2 - - the cabin ...[+++] and checked baggage of passengers taking a flight in an aircraft which, after a leg between two Community airports, continues its journey to a non-Community airport; - the baggage of passengers using a maritime service effected in one vessel and comprising successive legs departing from, terminating in or calling at a non-Community port; - the baggage of passengers on board pleasure craft.
