Proposal for a directive
Recital 22 a (new)

(22a) Certain elements of the accessibility requirements laid down by this Directive, particularly those set out in Annex I relating to the provision of information, are already covered by existing legislative acts of the Union in the area of transport. Those acts include Regulations (EC) Nos 1371/20071a and (EU) 1300/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council1b and Commission Regulation (EU) No 454/20111c as regards rail transport; Regulation (EU) No 181/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council1d as regards bus and coach transport; and Regulation (EU) No 1177/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council1e as regards maritime transport. To ensure regulatory consistency and predictability for the economic operators covered by those acts, the relevant requirements under this Directive should be deemed to be complied with where the relevant parts of those acts are complied with. However, when the accessibility requirements are not covered, for example the requirement to make websites of airlines accessible, this Directive should apply. __________________ 1a Regulation (EC) No 1371/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2007 on rail passengers’ rights and obligations (OJ L 315, 3.12.2007, p. 14). 1b Regulation (EU) No 1300/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 November 2014 on the technical specifications for interoperability relating to accessibility of the Union's rail system for persons with disabilities and persons with reduced mobility (OJ L 356, 12.12.2014, p. 110). 1cCommission Regulation (EU) No 454/2011 of 5 May 2011 on the technical specification for interoperability relating to the subsystem ‘telematics applications for passenger services’ of the trans- European rail system (OJ L 123, 12.5.2011, p. 11). 1d Regulation (EU) No 181/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 2011 concerning the rights of passengers in bus and coach transport and amending Regulation (EC) No 2006/2004 (OJ L 55, 28.2.2011, p. 1). 1e19 Regulation (EU) No 1177/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 concerning the rights of passengers when travelling by sea and inland waterway and amending Regulation (EC) No 2006/2004 (OJ L 334, 17.12.2010, p. 1).
