A harmonisation of legal regulations with respect to traveller (passenger) protection in the context of travel and carriage services has taken place recently in the European Union. This is the consequence of the entry into force of Directive (EU) 2015/2302 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2015 on package travel and linked package arrangements, which also classifies the service of the carriage of passengers as a travel service. In the case of both type of services, the European Union legislator aimed to provide travellers with a high, reasonably uniform, level of protection. However, he used to this end different legal instruments and protection methods. This paper attempts to compare the instruments and methods of traveller protection applied by the European Union legislator in EU law through showing their advantages and disadvantages. |
