Tsunades Beautiful Boobs

little legal knowledge

For this review we have taken a few documents with impressive names on hand to explore the current legal situation.

over Germany, the mobility service is used each day, thus securing the rail journey for many mobility-impaired From passengers. However, we know the major problems and wanted to know more precisely which laws govern the operations of the railway company.

addition to the law on equality of disabled people and the UN Disability Convention, there are specially designed for railway traffic EU-wide guidelines. do a small selection of references, we present here. This may at first sound very dry and boring, but you should know about their rights decision. We quote only short excerpts of the relevant texts and are in bold highlight the main points. So everyone should quickly get an idea of what claims are made on the web.

EU regulations

First we dare look into the Regulation (EC) No 1371/2007 of the European Parliament and the Council of 23 October 2007 on the rights and obligations of passengers by rail (published in the Official Journal of the European Union L 315/14 of 03.12.2007). While this sounds very complicated! But do not be discouraged and we have found in the rights of passengers as follows: CHAPTER V


PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND PEOPLE WITH LIMITED MOBILITY



Article 19 Right to transport

(1) railways and the station operators shall with the active participation of representative organizations of persons with disabilities and persons with reduced mobility non-discriminatory access rules for the transport of persons with disabilities and persons with reduced mobility on .

(2) bookings and tickets are available for persons with disabilities and persons with reduced mobility at no extra charge . A railway company , ticket vendors and tour operators may not refuse a booking to a person with a disability or accept a person with reduced mobility or her a ticket issued, or require that they be accompanied by another person unless it is absolutely necessary to comply with the rules referred to in paragraph 1 access.

Article 21

accessibility

(1) railway undertakings and station managers shall by complying with the TSI [Technical specifications for interoperability] for people with reduced mobility ensure that stations, platforms, vehicles and other facilities for people with disabilities and persons with reduced Mobility accessible .

(2) Is not a train or a station equipped with staff, make an effort, the railway company and station managers best efforts to persons with disabilities and people to enable persons with reduced mobility to travel by train .

Article 22

assistance at stations

(1) Without prejudice to the access rules under Article 19, paragraph 1 has with the station manager at departure, transit through or arrival of a person with a disability or a person with reduced mobility in a personal to provide equipped station for free assistance in a way that the person get on the departing service , for connecting rail service change and can get out of the incoming traffic service , for which she purchased a ticket .
summary can be stated: there is an obligation to convey that prohibits the train, the trip due to a disability refuse. A surcharge for a disability, is not allowed. Moreover, the one-, and out of order to be guaranteed by the station manager.

Another short section, we have TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION FOR INTEROPERABILITY, scope: sub-systems "infrastructure" and "vehicles", part of: mobile access to restricted persons (published in the Official Journal of the European Union L 64/75 of 07.03.2008) found. Again, a huge title that should not impress us! To read it are the following:
4.2.2.3. Wheelchair

Depending on the length of the train , excluding the locomotive or power head, be on a train at least available in the following table specified number of wheelchair spaces are :

length of the train number of wheelchair spaces per train
under 205 m 2 wheelchair spaces
205 m to 300 m 3 wheelchair spaces
than 300 m 4 wheelchair spaces

Thus the stability is ensured, the wheelchair space shall be designed to prevent the wheelchair in either direction or opposite to the direction of travel can be placed.
[...]
The wheelchair space must be equipped with an alarm device , can connect with a wheelchair in case of danger to a person who can take appropriate action. The alarm device must be installed so that it can be achieved by a person in a reference wheelchair.

When activated, the alarm device has a visual and audible indication that the alarm system is in operation.
[...]
This information is very interesting when you look at the given capacities of most ICEs look, as these often provide only a single chair stand.
Even worse is the situation in many ECs, for example, on the Hamburg - Prague (and sometimes more) operate. There exists a large number of connections no wheelchair space!

complaint form

The Federal Railway Office (EBA) is the controlling body for railway companies. If you determine problems or denied the German Rail to provide a legally guaranteed right, it can be submitted through a form complaint. Of this should make any use, so that the EBA is made aware and can be taken to the competent authorities take appropriate action.

documents in the DB

more information, see the document Access arrangements for people with disabilities and persons with reduced mobility under the EU Passenger Rights Regulation (EC) 1371/2007 on the DB Station & Service AG . Herein you will find among others an overview of the service times of all stations. That is so interesting because the main station in Dresden, with assistance 6-24 Clock is available. The raises the question as to why Robert had to care for his departure 10/07/2010 to ever own!

to access arrangements for people with limited mobility (PRM) according to the EU passenger rights regulation of the DB long-distance AG and DB Regio AG is defined the target group as follows:
Mobility impaired people pose for the German Railways an important customer and that target group, their specific needs with the strategic direction, product development and service implementation and will continue to rule be considered. The theme of "Travel Mobility impaired people" has a high status within the group, and not just in terms of the 01 May 2002, in force since the Federal Disability Discrimination Act. Rather, the company acknowledges its social responsibility to the more than 8 million citizens with disabilities. The implementation of EU passenger rights regulation will contribute by strengthening the rights of people with restricted mobility to this a further contribution.
Very nice marketing terms that are in reality, unfortunately, suffered far too often by the wind of the trains ...
