      Applicant: Reinhard Nagel

      Questions referred
   
   
               1.
            
            
               Can an air carrier make the deduction in all cases or is this dependent on the extent to which national law permits it or the court regards it as appropriate?
            
         
               2.
            
            
               In so far as national law is applicable or the court is to exercise its discretion: is compensation under Article 7 of the regulation (1) intended to redress only the inconvenience and loss of time suffered by passengers as a result of the cancellation, or is it also intended to address material damage?
            
         
      (1)  Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 February 2004 establishing common rules on compensation and assistance to passengers in the event of denied boarding and of cancellation or long delay of flights, and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 295/91 (OJ 2004 L 46, p. 1).
