Providing Information in Regard to Package Travel Contacts

Summary/Abstract: On the 1st of May 2010, Regulation 883/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council, and Regulation 987/2009 for its implementation entered into force. The aims of the newest Regulations considering the coordination of the social security systems in the EU are to establish rules which overcome the collisions of laws, rules for the prevention of discrimination on the basis of nationality, and rules for the overcoming of the territorial requirements for acquiring rights and receiving social security benefits. The basic characteristics of the regulation are simplicity of the rules and less exceptions. The new Regulations keep and develop the basic principles of the social security systems’ coordination. The most important principles are: the equal treatment of the subjects of rights (personal scope of the coordination), the equal treatment of the benefits (material scope of the coordination), the aggregation of insurance and residence periods, and exclusion of the overlapping of benefits. The content of these principles and their adoption by the Bulgarian legislation are examined in the article.The article examines the obligations of tour operators to provide relevant information to consumers before and at the time of reaching an agreement, as well as after the conclusion of a package travel contract. A comparative analysis of the Tourism Act and Directive 90/314/EEC is carried out. Last, but not least, some proposals de lege ferenda are made.
