On 31 May 2005 I signed a statutory instrument, European Communities (Compensation and Assistance to Air Passengers) (Denied Boarding, Cancellation or Long Delay of Flights) Regulations 2005, which appoints the Commission for Aviation Regulation as the competent authority in accordance with Article 16 of Regulation (EC) 261/2004. This statutory instrument, No. 274 of 2005, is available in the Oireachtas Library.
