And now I would like to invite Anna-Kaisa to join me on the podium for news that will be of interest to the transport and tourism industries in particular.

Madam President,

we have today adopted new guidance to support the EU transport and tourism sector that is affected by the Middle East crisis. The guidance focuses on aviation.

It addresses the impacts of potential jet fuel scarcity should the conflict continue.

It also clarifies existing EU rules on air passenger rights,

airport slots, fuel uplift obligations, fuel surcharges and public service obligations.

Aviation and fuel stakeholders are reviewing the feasibility of using jet fuels sourced from other regions of the world.

Following this,

the EU Aviation Safety Agency has also today issued a safety information bulletin about the safe usage of jet A aviation fuel in Europe.

You will find more information in our daily news, which also links to the guidance that we adopted today,

as well as on the EASA website. Thank you, Anna-Kaisa
