Passenger rights are a great way to protect people travelling through Europe, but current legislation is far from perfect. Parliament free europe travel brochure is looking how to beef up rules on anything free europe travel brochure from compensation to helping customers from bankrupt airlines. Brian Simpson, chair of the EP s transport committee, discussed in a Facebook chat on 27 February what they would focus on: We will be determined to close loopholes in the present legislation.
