EC begins formal consulation over CRS reform

Tuesday, 27 Feb, 2007 0

The European Commission has launched a formal public consultation into its proposed reform of the Code of Conduct for Computerised Reservations Systems.

The two-month consultation has been welcomed by the Coalition for Fair Access to Reservations in Europe.

“We encourage airlines, travel agencies, corporate travel managers and consumer groups to add their weight to this consultation, which affects everyone who travels in Europe,” said Brandon Mitchener, C-FARE executive director.

“Europe’s CRS rules will be shaped by those who speak up. If you or your business depends on fair and complete access to travel information then you should let the EC know how this reform could affect you.”

According to C-Fare, a letter was sent by the Commission today to all airlines and CRSs active in Europe reminding them that the Code requires all airlines “to ensure ‘that the data which they submit to a CRS are accurate, non-misleading, transparent and no less comprehensive than for any other CRS”.

C-FARE has prepared an online petition (http://www.c-fare.org/petition/) in English, German, French, Italian and Spanish to allow stakeholders to demonstrate their support for a reasonable reform of CRS rules.

Its members include Galileo and Sabre, Philips Electronics, Travel Overland, TUI4U, AERTiCKET AG, the Business Travel Coalition and Dutch Corporate Travel Association CORTAS.
