Proposal for a regulation
Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 15
Regulation (EC) No 261/2004
Article 16a – paragraph 3
In accordance with relevant EU and national lawMember States shall ensure that air passengers can submit disputes with air carriers concerning rights and obligations established by this Regulation to independent, efficacious and efficient out- of-court resolution mechanisms. To that end, each Member State shall designate a national body or bodies responsible for the out-of-court resolution of disputes between air carriers and passengers with regard to the rights and obligations covered by this Regulation. This should be a body other than the Enforcement Body referred to in Article 16(1). Air carriers shall be required to become affiliated to this/these out of-court dispute resolution body/bodies. This body or these bodies designated by the Member States shall be empowered to resolve the underlying dispute between passengers and air carriers by means of a decision which is legally binding on both parties and enforceable. For disputes falling within the scope of Directive 2013/11/EU, only that Directive shall apply. All air carriers which are involved in flights from an airport within the territory of a Member State or of a third country to these airports shall abide by the alternative dispute resolution system referred to in Directive 2013/11/EU, which will ensure simple, swift and cheap out-of-court resolution of disputes between passengers and air carriers.
