Abstract

The author analyses the provisions of the European acquis communautaire on the liability of a railway undertaking for damages caused to passengers in the event of a train delay under Regulation (EC) No 1371/2007 on rail passengers’ rights and obligations. In particular, refer-ence is made to the recent judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in Case C- 509/11 regarding the impossibility of exempting railway undertakings from paying compensation to passengers in the event of a delay caused by force majeure. This paper explores the latest European Commission Proposal of September 2017 for a recast of Regulation (EC) No 1371/2007 and the justification for the introduction of the force majeure clause in Art. 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1371/2007. The newly proposed provision would allow the railway undertaking to be exempt from the liability to pay compensation for a delay if it manages to prove that the delay was caused by severe weather conditions or major natural disasters that jeopardise the safe provision of service and which could not have been foreseen or prevented even by taking all reasonable measures. The paper analyses the provisions of the applicable national legislation, indicating the beginning of a full implementation of Regulation (EC) No 1371/2007 in the Republic of Croatia.
在克罗地亚共和国发生火车延误的情况下,欧化对乘客权利保护的挑战
作者分析了欧洲共同体法规(EC) No 1371/2007中关于铁路乘客权利和义务的规定,该规定规定了铁路承诺方在火车延误时对乘客造成损害的责任。特别是,欧洲联盟法院(CJEU)最近在C- 509/11案件中作出的判决,即在不可抗力造成延误的情况下,不可能免除铁路企业向乘客支付赔偿。本文探讨了欧盟委员会2017年9月关于法规(EC) No 1371/2007的最新提案,以及法规(EC) No 1371/2007第17条引入不可抗力条款的理由。新建议的条文将允许铁路经营者免除支付延误赔偿的责任,如果它设法证明延误是由恶劣天气条件或重大自然灾害造成的,危及服务的安全提供,即使采取一切合理措施也无法预见或防止。本文分析了适用的国家立法的规定,表明克罗地亚共和国开始全面实施法规(EC) No 1371/2007。
