Subject files - Package travel and assisted travel arrangements - Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection

The overall objective of the Commission's revised proposal is to enhance the functioning of the Internal Market and achieve a high level of consumer protection through the approximation of rules on packages and other combinations of travel services. The proposal seeks to establish a level playing field between operators, remove legal obstacles to cross-border trade and reduce compliance costs for businesses. At the same time, it aims to clarify which combinations of travel services are protected under EU package travel rules and replace unclear and outdated provisions. It contains mandatory rules for the protection of travellers, which Member States or traders may not derogate from to the detriment of consumers.
