Possible revision of Regulation 2299/89 on a Code of Conduct for computerised reservation systems (CRS)

Computerised Reservation Systems (CRS) provide customers with instantaneous information about the availability of air transport services and the fares for such services. They permit travel agents to make immediate confirmed reservations on behalf of the consumer. Regulation 2299/89 defines rules of conduct for the various market participants.

The consultation paper gives an overview of the most recent market developments and invites all interested parties to provide their views and comments on the raised questions in order to assess the need for revision of Regulation 2299/89.

Replies to the consultation should reach the Commission by 27 April 2007. Comments received will be made available on-line unless a specific request for confidentiality is made, in which case only an indication of the contributor will be given.
