Med vedtagelsen af denne forordning (som drejer sig om busrejser) vil alle transportformer i EU fremover være dækket af lovgivning, der sikrer passagererne rettigheder f.eks. i tilfælde af, at deres rejse aflyses eller er forsinket, eller deres bagage bortkommer og så fremdeles.
With the adoption of this regulation (which concerns journeys by bus and coach), all modes of transport in the European Union will henceforth be covered by legislation offering rights and guarantees to passengers if their journey is, for instance, cancelled or delayed, or if their luggage is lost and so forth.
