ECC-Leaflet informs soccer enthusiastic consumers

The 20th FIFA World Cup will take place in Brazil from June 12th to July 13th 2014. The ECC-Net published a leaflet for European fans who want to attend the games.

The leaflet provides information about the settings on-site and about most frequently needed legal rights of European travellers. From buying the tickets, to the flight right up to potential problems (e.g. medical issues) – the leaflet is a compact and helpful companion for the FIFA World Cup Brazil 2014.

The European Consumer Centers Network can help EU citizens in case of troubles with European companies (like airlines, traders, hotels etc.). It is co-funded by the European Commission.

ECC Belgium provided the brochure and published different language versions on its website.

Will air passenger rights change soon?

A new attempt for revised passenger rights in air travel is here. The initiative could lead to the replacement of the old Air Passenger Rights Regulation, especially in the area of delays and flight cancellations. This means that air travellers in the EU will get more rights in the future - but also fewer in certain cases.
