"Euro MPs get tough on airline ads

The European Parliament has agreed to ban airlines from advertising fares that do not include the taxes and charges passengers have to pay.

The assembly heard that the "common position" of the parliament had been approved, which meant the issue was not formally voted on.

The new regulation is expected to come into force across the EU by the end of this year.

The 35-member Association of European Airlines (AEA) welcomed the changes. "

Does the problem sound familiar?

Let's hope the Canadian Parliament is listening!!
