THE PACKAGE TRAVEL DIRECTIVE REVISION

The Package Travel Directive (PTD) revision process in Brussels has now completed, with the adopted Directive to shortly appear in the Official Journal of the European Union. The European Commission (DG Justice) published proposals for a revised Directive on 9 July 2013. Following legislative scrutiny, the Council of EU Ministers adopted the final draft of the Directive on 18 September 2015, which the European Parliament approved on 28 October 2015. The UK will be allowed up to 30 months from publication in the Official Journal, expected before the end of 2015, to implement and enforce the revised Directive.
