Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My thanks to the witnesses for joining us today.
Over the past few meetings, and even during today's meeting, many witnesses have shared their concerns about the financial burden that could come with enhancing passenger rights. That also concerns me, of course, but if we remember the years before the pandemic, in my opinion, we had a problematic system because passengers' rights were not being respected in a clear and consistent manner.
According to a number of witnesses, enhancing passenger rights could reduce competition and lead to higher prices. In addition, we're often told that the European passenger rights model should not be replicated. That makes me wonder, since European air travel seems to be one of the markets held up as an example when it comes to competitiveness and competition.
Mr. Lukács, could you elaborate on that?
Do you think that providing more protection to travellers is an obstacle, or an issue, for competition?
