Change 1

ChangedRecital 3: (3) While, overall, Directive (EU) 2015/2302 has worked well, several challenges have emerged since the start of its application on 1 July 2018. The COVID-19 pandemic and related government measures had a significant impact on both the travel industry and travellers and exposed certain weaknesses in prevailing business models and showed that specific provisions of the Directive could be clarified. Moreover, despite the efforts linked to the Directive, to ensure transparency and provide clear information to travellers, a lack ~~ofuniformity~~of uniformity in communicating information to travellers about their rights has persisted.

Change 2

ChangedRecital 5: (5) While, overall, the definition of ‘package’ is considered to have been effective, the definition of and the rules on linked travel arrangements have created more complexity and legal uncertainty, and are rarely used in ~~practice.Therefore,~~practice. Therefore, the definition of a 'package' should be clarified and simplified, and the provisions on linked travel arrangements should be deleted from Directive (EU) 2015/2302. Such clarification and simplification of the definition and concept ~~of‘package’~~of ‘package’ and the deletion of references to the concept of ‘linked travel arrangement’ should increase legal certainty for all parties, while making the protection of travellers more effective, and ensuring a level playing field for traders. At the same time, the number of information forms to be used by traders when informing travellers on their rights should be reduced. With the deletion of the concept of “linked travel arrangements”, Annex II should subsequently be deleted.

Note on change 2 · wording only Written by AI from the official text — check the source · deepseek-v4-flash · 4 Sept 2026

Reformats punctuation and spacing in the phrase 'in practice. Therefore' and 'of 'package''.
