Bruxelles, BE – Un certain nombre d’États membres de l’UE demandent que les règles relatives à la politique d’annulation des billets soient modifiées, afin d’exempter les compagnies aériennes de l’obligation de rembourser leurs clients.

Brüssel, BE – Mehrere EU Mitgliedstaaten, auch Deutschland, pochen momentan auf eine Aussetzung bestehender Fluggastrechte in der EU. Dies würde Verbrauchern die Rückerstattung von gestrichenen Flügen nicht mehr erlauben und ihnen lediglich einen Gutschein zusprechen.

“It’s also important to point out the incredible hypocrisy on the part of policy makers.

It is outrageous that airline companies are getting special treatment, when hotel and event bookings are not.

“Judges are asked to evaluate what constitutes sound science or pass that along for juries to evaluate. Without significant legal reform to better define what basis of scientific data can be presented at court, we are destined for more convoluted trials, which ultimately means less justice for everyone.

Roma, IT – Ieri il Presidente Conte ha dichiarato che il prezzo delle mascherine chirurgiche sarà di 0.50 euro, Luca Bertoletti, European Affairs Manager per il Consumer Choice Center commenta: “quanto avvenuto ieri sera è pericoloso, e infatti ne vediamo già gli effetti. Molte farmacie, che avevano mascherine nei magazzini non le vendono più in quanto non riuscirebbero nemmeno a rientrare dei costi”.
