As part of the preparations for the transposition of the Package Travel Directive, Directive (EU) 2015/2302, the Commission for Aviation Regulation (CAR) has commenced a project to consult with the travel trade, representative bodies and other stakeholders to help ascertain the requirements of the Directive as they relate in particular to the CAR's current statutory functions and duties in the areas of licensing of the travel trade. The directive is due to be transposed into Irish law by 1 January 2018 and effective from 1 July 2018. The outcome of the CAR consultation will help inform the next steps in the transposition process.
