For the first time, with the Proposal the Commission suggested to the States to regulate the relations between undertakings in the case of refund claims. Thus, according to Article 22(2) of the Proposal, “member States shall ensure that, when a service provider cancels a service that is part of a package or fails to provide it, that service provider shall refund to the organiser any payments made by the organiser for the service within seven days. The seven day period shall start on the day following the cancellation of the service or the day when the service was due to be performed, whichever is the earlier date”. If the service is not performed, the service provider must return to the organiser the amount received within seven days from the time when the service was due to be performed or from the termination of the relationship. Since, according to Article 12(4) of Directive 2015 / 2302 / EU, the organiser has fourteen days from the termination of the relationship with the traveller to reimburse any payment, the seven - day time - limit set for the regulation of internal relations between companies should shelter the organiser from the risk of insolvency.
