1. the compensation is set in the regulation so unless the 3 EU institutions (Council, Commission and Parliament) agree to reduce them they will stay at €600 (just as there has been no increase since 2004!
2. Again no, the regulation would need to be re-written / amended plus those pesky judges would likely still get to do a few rulings (like they were the ones who said it applied to delays)
What does need to happen is the proposed amendments such as increasing the delay time from which it is due to be paid from. That really was unfair to the airlines to take a time period from 'duty of care' and apply it to delays.
