European Parliament wants intermediaries to refund fees for cancelled journeys

26.11.2025 by Sari Viljamaa

GBTA, BT4Europe and VDR are all lobbying against the European Parliament proposal.

European Union-based travel management companies and other intermediaries could be forced to refund their own fees as well as the original ticket cost when journeys they book on behalf of customers are cancelled. The proposal by the European Parliament is currently being considered in its trilogue negotiations with the European Commission and the European Council, which represents the EU’s member states.

The Global Business Travel Association (GBTA), BT4Europe and German travel managers’ association VDR are among corporate travel representative groups lobbying against the Parliament’s proposal. They say it would unfairly penalise intermediaries, who would be compelled to cover their additional costs by raising fees.

BT4Europe wins European Commission support for A1 exemption

15.10.2025 by Sari Viljamaa

Business travel association network BT4Europe has welcomed the European Commission’s support for exempting short-term business travellers from filling out the A1 document.

BT4Europe, which has been campaigning for an A1 form exemption, said it had received a response from the commission recognising “the administrative burden caused by the current A1 rules” and confirming that an exemption for short-term business travel is “under discussion”.

The EU's A1 form, which was introduced in 2010, requires travellers to provide proof of payment of social security in another member state and this currently includes short-term business travellers crossing between countries. BT4Europe is calling for a 14-day exemption for business travellers.

FBTA is a founding member of BT4Europe.
