266. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if an investigation of additional charges associated with airline travel, including bag charges, credit card fees, and so on is being carried out at an EU level by him as part of the Irish Presidency of the EU; if so, from what perspective it will be investigated, for example competition/ consumer rights/law; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The aim of this study is to assess whether the rules on transparency of prices to consumers are meeting their objectives.  The outcome of the study is not available yet. Further information is available from the Commission's website at the following link:
