On 16 October 2025, the Rapporteur, Mr Alex Agius Saliba (S&D), reported to the Committee on the outcome of the first trilogue meeting on the revised EU Package Travel Directive, which took place on 24 September 2025 under the Danish Presidency at the Council premises. He highlighted that the file remains a key priority for the Presidency and underlined the constructive progress achieved at the technical level over recent weeks.

During the first trilogue, the European Parliament and the Council, presented their respective mandates, focusing on key aspects. These included refining the definition of a "package," and outlining travellers' rights to terminate package travel contracts in cases of extraordinary and unavoidable circumstances. Further discussions also addressed refund timelines in the event of organiser insolvency, as well as enhanced enforcement mechanisms to ensure better consumer protection and compliance.

Negotiations continue at technical level and the second trilogue meeting is expected to take place in the coming weeks. It will aim to find agreement on the outstanding issues and pave the way for the adoption of a balanced, future-proof Package Travel Directive that responds to the evolving needs of both travellers and businesses across the European Union.
