European travellers, and perhaps also students of EU law who are finalising their Master theses during the Summer months, might be interested in learning that the European Commission just published a helpful, comprehensive overview of EU measures aimed at assisting travellers. Topics include the loss of documents; problems with airlines, car rental companies and tour operators; travelling with pets; health insurance; keeping telephone costs to a minimum; timeshare; and dealing with problems while shopping abroad.
