Summary/Abstract: The Romanian Civil Code stipulates the obligation of the carrier to carry the passenger's luggage without any other payment and establishes the carrier's liability for nonfulfillment, but does not define the notion of luggage, does not establish a legal regime, at the principle level, for liability of hand luggage and registered one and does not make a clear distinction between the transport of goods and luggage. The general regulation makes references to special laws which also, although regulating the baggage regime in their own means of transport, do not have complete references covering the whole spectrum of legal issues of luggage, which is why, where possible, it leaves the carrier, through their own regulations, to manage these issues. A broader regulation of luggage rules and, possibly, a definition of it results from special regulations on rail and passenger transport or from special regulations on other types of transport.
