Please find mentioned below the reply from the authorities from Belgium:
Our reference:
Dear Sir,
Regulation (EC)261/2004 applies to all airlines if it concerns a flight departing from EU. If it concerns a flight departing from outside EU but with arrival in EU, it applies only to European airlines.
The regulation also applies in case of connecting flights but only when it is the flight departing from/arriving at EU that has caused the delay at final destination.
For example:
flight Brussels-New York is delayed and causes missed connection at New York, delay at final destination Boston: regulation applies
flight Boston-New York is delayed and causes missed connection at New York, delay at final destination Brussels: regulation does not apply
Yours faithfully,

Hello ,
I have a few questions:
-To which airlines does EC26/2004 not apply ?
-Does EC261/2004 apply also in case of connecting flights (connection outside EU)?
Thank you,
Kind regards,
I am occupied for the next 2 weeks,
But am going to take the matter further, the regulations also mention time of arrival at destination, which differs with the above mentioned reply.
