Final report
Publication metadata
This report presents the findings of the support study for the ex-post Evaluation of Regulation (EC) 1107/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 July 2006 concerning the rights of persons with disabilities and persons with reduced mobility when travelling by air (hereafter the Regulation (EC) 1107/2006), which took full effect in July 2008 and introduced new protections for such persons. The adoption of Regulation (EC) 1107/2006 was intended to include PRMs (persons with disabilities and persons with reduced mobility) in the framework of EU Passenger Rights legislation, in particular to ensure that their rights to non-discrimination and mandatory assistance were recognised by the air transport industry. It introduced a specific, enforceable framework of rights for PRMs when travelling by air in the European Union (which then included the United Kingdom), Iceland, Norway and Switzerland (EU+4). The objective of the evaluation is to assess the performance of all provisions of the Regulation across the EU+4. To that end, the study aimed to examine the effectiveness, efficiency of the Regulation, its internal coherence and coherence with other pieces of EU legislation, the extent that the Regulation brought EU added value and its relevance in line with the rules on Better Regulation.
