Este Convenio prevé que la responsabilidad del transportista en caso de destrucción, pérdida, avería o retraso del equipaje se limita a la cantidad de 1.000 derechos especiales de giro [DEG] por pasajero (equivalente aproximadamente a 1.134,71 euros), a menos que el pasajero haya hecho al transportista, al entregarle el equipaje facturado, una declaración especial del valor y haya pagado una suma suplementaria, si hay lugar a ello.
Thus, that convention provides that the liability of a carrier in the case of destruction, loss, damage or delay of baggage is limited to the sum of 1000 Special Drawing Rights (SDR) for each passenger (a sum equivalent to approximately €1134.71) , unless a passenger has made, at the time when the checked baggage was handed over to the carrier, a special declaration of interest in delivery at destination and has paid a supplementary sum if the case so requires. In that case, as a rule a carrier is liable to pay a sum not exceeding the declared sum.
