EP promised passengers that their rights would not move backwards and we didn't give up. Today’s COREPER decision confirms it.
The 3-hour threshold is preserved. Compensation is preserved. New rights are added, beyond the status quo.
A final vote remains in EP on Monday. ✈️

- Today's attack on a crude oil tanker in the Black Sea is yet another reason why Eastern border and Black Sea Member States must receive additional allocation. Thank you @RaffaeleFitto for the talks! The EPP Group is determined to secure NATO's Eastern flank. Defence is regional.
- Eye-opening @EUauditors' reports on the next MFF. Thank you ECA Members @MaleticIvana & Alejandro Blanco Fernández for discussing w EPP REGI. Commission’s proposals need to be reworked. @EPPGroup will ensure regions, cities & rural areas hold the pen. Cohesion is EU’s superpower.
- The @EUauditors delivered their opinion on the NRPPs. Our position remains clear: Commissions come & go. Parliaments come & go. Presidents & governments come & go. But regional challenges persist — and so must a strong EU cohesion policy.
- Eastern border regions = NATO's Eastern Flank. As of 2028, regional policy will have a security and defence layer. National and Regional Partnership Plans will be strategic - from Finland to Bulgaia and the Black Sea Region. This will be among my priorities.
- Andrey Novakov repostedReplying to @EPPGroupWe have made it clear from the beginning that we will not back down on key passenger protections. Weakening the rules would be a step in the wrong direction. This is a testament to the @EPPGroup's effective leadership on consumer protection issues. @AndreyNovakov
- It is time to co-write the rules with the regions, cities and rural areas on board. In a world of disorder, EU’s regional policy is a safe haven for communities, cities and rural areas because investment is appreciated when it is needed. #MFF#ReginalPolicy#Cohesion
- More money should be invested if fires and floods devastate our regions, if war is raging along NATO’s Eastern Flank and the Black Sea Region, if people need infrastructure and services. EU is cherished and remembered when it is there. #MFF#ReginalPolicy#Cohesion
- 780 billion euro under the National and Regional Partnership Plans represent EU’s soft power. But the European Parliament needs to ensure that the plans are more regional than national, more cohesive than divisive, more flexible than restrictive. #MFF#ReginalPolicy#Cohesion
- Around the table. Where regional parliaments should be when we negotiate the next #MFF. @Calrenet, it was not just a keynote speech but a pleasure for me. Thank you, @ManfredWeber and @TobiasReissMdL!

- Andrey Novakov repostedReplying to @EPPGroupWe are committed to finding a fair balance between the interests of the aviation industry and passengers rights. However, we will not compromise on the current levels and fundamental principles of passenger protection. @AndreyNovakovepp.group/f9e9exam
