Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals

Ms Niamh O'Brien:

Yes. In terms of the subsidiarity issue, again, this is something that it is considered most appropriate to be dealt with at a European level to avoid any fragmentation of different regulatory rules across the network. Given international aviation is so broad and transboundary, it is considered to be the most appropriate course of action. We do not have anything here currently in this field for aviation.

The Senator asked about the type of penalties that would be applicable. There are enforcement provisions.
