Regulation (EC) No 1371/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council on rail passengers’ rights and obligations entered into force on 3 December 2009. The aim of the Regulation is to protect the rights of rail passengers in the EU, particularly when travel is disrupted, and to improve the quality and effectiveness of rail passenger services. Whilst, in principle, the Regulation applies to all rail passenger services in the EU, the Regulation allows Member States to grant exemptions to domestic long distance rail passenger services to ease the phasing-in of the Regulation. In view of the specific character of urban, suburban and regional rail passenger services, the Regulation also allows Member States to exempt these services from the application of the Regulation. Article 2 of the Regulation thus allows Member States to exempt certain services from the full application of the Regulation: Article 2(7) invites the Commission to provide the European Parliament and the Council with a report on the exemptions granted by Member States. |
