Most (all?) airlines will, when accepting the validity of a claim, offer a voucher of substantially greater value to the claimant, but with strings attached.

It is possible in all Member States, under national legislation implementing the Regulation, to impose sanctions for failure to abide by its provisions. Whether there is a significant willingness among national regulators to pro-actively enforce the regulations and whether, in some Member States, the penalties are sufficiently dissuasive is another matter.
