Cornelia Primosch is joined by Frédéric Vincent, spokesperson of the European Commission, to discuss the proposed revision of the package travel directive.
EU rules concerning the purchase of package tours or holidays date back to 1990 - before the arrival of online shopping, widely used for travelling purposes today. On Wednesday, the Commission put forward a proposal aimed at ensuring the rights of consumers, including the right to information, liability for inadequate performance and insolvency protection.
