It observed that any price charged to the airlines which did not allow FZG to recover those costs would constitute an advantage to the airlines.

Member States shall communicate to the Committee any information available on transfers or activity by Iran's Air's cargo division or vessels owned or operated by the IRISL to other companies, that may have been undertaken in order to evade the sanctions of, or in violation of the provisions of UNSCR 1737 (2006), UNSCR 1747 (2007), UNSCR 1803 (2008) or UNSCR 1929 (2010), including the renaming or re-registering of aircraft, vessels or ships.

The attachment to the 2001 Airline Passenger Service Commitment[6], signed by the majority of European national carriers (hereinafter referred as to the Airline Commitment) states that signatory airlines must take all reasonable steps to avoid loss or damage to mobility equipment or other disability assistive devices; they will develop their own individual service plans incorporating the Airline Commitment ; They will establish staff training programmes and introduce changes to their computer systems to implement the Airline Commitment; and that "PRM must be enabled to remain independent to the greatest possible extent".

The Commission points out that future legislation will seek a balance between legal certainty for passengers and for airlines, while guaranteeing more rights for passengers. They must be able to obtain accurate and up-to-date information on airlines' performance so that they can make informed choices.
