20It is apparent from a reading of Article 7(3) of Regulation No 261/2004 in conjunction with Article 8(1)(a) thereof that, in those provisions, the EU legislature provided a framework for the procedure for reimbursement of the cost of a ticket in the event of a flight cancellation. In this respect, the structure of Article 7(3) of that regulation shows that the reimbursement of the cost of the ticket is made, primarily, by a sum of money. By contrast, reimbursement in travel vouchers is presented as a subsidiary means of reimbursement, since it is subject to the supplementary condition of the ‘signed agreement of the passenger’.
