      Question referred
   
   Does Article 6(2), in fine, of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1371/2007 (
         1
      ) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2007 on rail passengers’ rights and obligations preclude the Belgian national penalty provisions, …, under which a train passenger without a ticket — and in the absence of regularisation within the periods laid down in the relevant regulations — commits a criminal offence, which excludes any contractual relationship between the transport company and the train passenger, with the consequence that the benefit of the legal protection provisions under European and Belgian national law which are based on that (exclusive) contractual relationship with that consumer, …, is also denied to the train passenger?
