The European Court of Justice (ECJ) in Luxembourg ruled on Thursday (9.30 a.m.) on regulations to protect tour operators during the corona pandemic. In France, tour operators could initially offer a voucher when a contract was terminated and only had to reimburse the travel price if it was not redeemed within an 18-month period. French consumer advocates consider this incompatible with the EU Package Travel Directive. (Az: C-407/21 UFC)
In another case, package travelers in Slovakia had to accept a contract that had been changed due to the pandemic or an offered replacement trip. The EU Commission saw this as a violation of EU law. (Az: C-540/21)
