Italy to bring in directive at last

Article Abstract:

The EC Directive on Package Travel will come into effect in Italy in Sep 1995. This will oblige travel organisers to provide financial protection against collapse to customers. Italian travel agents have expressed concern about the management of the trust fund to which they must contribute 0.5% of the cost of insurance policies on package holidays. Spain and Greece are now the only two European countries which have not ratified the directive.
