 Legislative and regulatory risks easyJet is exposed to legislative and regulatory oversight across its network and all countries where it sells its product via a native language website. This will increase as easyJet grows geographically and the number of local language websites increases.  Failure to comply with legislative and regulatory requirements (or interpretations thereof), such as local consumer laws, passenger compensation for certain long flight delays and cancellations, and environmental and airport regulations, in the jurisdictions in which easyJet operates could have an adverse reputational and financial impact.  In the event the UK votes to leave the European Union, the terms of exit could have implications for easyJet to continue to operate the network it does currently.
