Mr. Pat Dawson:

Many European countries have organised things so that packages are booked separately. In other words, a package is two elements, namely, the hotel and the flight. If one books a hotel one day and a flight the next, the directive does not come in. The point is that our job is to protect the consumer and the directive does not do that. We are the only people in the industry who are there for the consumer 24 hours a day. We would not be happy with a regime where the consumer is thrown under the bus. We have been thrown under the bus, as such, for the past five or six years. Our consumer is the most important weapon we have to keep businesses open.
