Legal/ADR related recommendations<br />
• To undertake the development of effective<br />
ADR bodies to cover air passenger rights<br />
queries in each Member State.<br />
• To undertake the development of practical<br />
mechanisms allowing air passengers where<br />
appropriate to take cross-border legal action<br />
against air carriers. The introduction of the<br />
proposed <strong>European</strong> small claims cross-border<br />
procedure is expected to assist consumers in<br />
this situation, although its exact impact has<br />
yet to be assessed.<br />
• Effective advice and information resources<br />
should be provided to assist consumers with<br />
ADR or cross-border small claims procedures.<br />
The ECC network is the only <strong>European</strong>-wide<br />
network equipped with the expertise to<br />
provide this service fro consumers, and so it<br />
should be ensured that the Network is<br />
properly resourced, both from national and<br />
<strong>European</strong> sources.<br />
<strong>Air</strong> carrier customer services<br />
recommendations<br />
• That each air carrier should be obliged to list<br />
clear contact information for dealing with<br />
customer queries, of which one should be via<br />
a written form as well as via a telephone number.<br />
• That each air carrier should have a named<br />
liaison person within their complaints<br />
department to deal with ECC Net personnel.
