European Accessibility Act, article register (Directive (EU) 2019/882) art-5: Article 5: Existing Union law in the field of passenger transport

What does art-5 require?

The article links this Directive to the passenger rights regime. A service that meets the accessible information and accessibility information duties in Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 on air passenger rights, Regulation (EC) No 1107/2006 on the rights of disabled air passengers, Regulation (EC) No 1371/2007 on rail passengers, Regulation (EU) No 1177/2010 on waterborne passengers and Regulation (EU) No 181/2011 on bus and coach passengers, and in acts adopted under the rail interoperability Directive, is treated as meeting the matching requirements here. The deeming effect is limited to the matching requirements. Where this Directive adds a requirement that the transport regulation does not contain, the added requirement applies in full. The article therefore saves duplicate work on information duties without creating a general safe harbour.
