Over 10,000 hotels join complaint against Booking.com – DW – 08/04/2025
European hotel owners are angry over the "best price" clause at the online booking giant they say had kept them from offering rooms for less on their own websites. European hotel owners are joining together in a class action suit against the online platform with more than 10,000 hotels have now signed on to the damages suit. According to the Association of Hotels, Restaurants and Cafes in Europe HOTREC, which represents the industry within the EU, hotel owners will seek compensation for losses incurred between 2004 and 2024 as a result of so-called "best-price" clauses that keep hotels from offering rooms for less on their own sites. The initiative is also backed by 30 national hotel associations, including the German Hotel Association (IHA). Netherlands-based used the clauses as a way to prevent what it called "free-rider" bookings, which it defined as a customer discovering a hotel on but then booking directly with the hotel and not the online giant. These clauses had required hotels not to offer rooms at lower prices on other platforms, including their own websites. A suit to be brought before an Amsterdam court by the Hotel Claims Alliance — and supported by HOTREC and 30 more hotel associations — cites a September 19, 2024 European Court of Justice (ECJ) verdict finding best-price clauses illegal. The ECJ ruled that online platforms could operate without putting such restrictions on partner hotels. did away with the clause in 2024 as a result of the European Union Digital Markets Act. "European hoteliers have long suffered from unfair conditions and excessive costs," according to HOTREC President Alexandros Vassilikos. "This joint initiative sends a clear message: abusive practices in the digital market will not be tolerated by the hospitality industry in Europe." HOTREC on Monday announced an extension of the time limit to join the suit against until August 29. "The class action is receiving overwhelming support," IHA Managing Director Markus Luthe told Germany's DPA news agency. said has not received an official lawsuit, according to reporting by DPA. "This is a statement from HOTREC, not a filed class action," the company said in response to an inquiry. It also rejected the claims by the hotel associations, and the legal arguments based on the ECJ ruling. "Each of our accommodation partners is free to set their own distribution and pricing strategies and can offer their rooms wherever they choose," the statement said.

England's Lionesses Party In London After Euro 2025 Triumph
England's victorious Lionesses were feted by thousands of ecstatic fans in London on Tuesday during an open-top bus parade to celebrate their dramatic Euro 2025 triumph. Sarina Wiegman's team successfully defended their European crown by beating world champions Spain on penalties in the Swiss city of Basel on Sunday, sparking an outpouring of national joy. They flew home on Monday and were immediately whisked to 10 Downing Street, the working home of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, for a reception. On Tuesday it was the turn of fans to celebrate the astonishing success of the Lionesses, who repeatedly defied the odds during their run to glory in Switzerland. Two buses emblazoned with the words "European Champions" set off from the bottom of The Mall, the road leading to Buckingham Palace, under grey skies shortly after midday. Captain Leah Williamson held the Euro 2025 trophy in the air and supporters responded with cheers and by waving their flags. The decibel count rouse as the bus crawled along the road, lined with Union flags and the St George's Cross, led by a military band. The huge crowds then swarmed down the road towards Buckingham Palace to party with the squad, with two large screens showing tournament highlights. An emotional Williamson was first to speak from a stage outside Buckingham Palace, saying she had been crying all the way down The Mall. "There's lots of ways to win a football match, and we repeatedly did it the hard way," she said. "But I think that you can see how much we care about playing for England, how much we love it. "(Victory in) 2022 was a fairytale, but this feels really hard-earned, and we're very proud of ourselves." The skipper said the team had overcome adversity, including defeat to France in their opening match: "Nasty things to deal with, and still we rise." She added: "Everything we do, obviously we do it for us and our team, but we do it for the country, and we do it for the young girls. "This job never existed 30 or 40 years ago, and we're making history every single step. Thank you so much, thank you so much for being with us. Stay with us, this story's not done yet." Wiegman told the cheering crowds that her players "showed up" when they had to before dancing on stage with Nigerian singer Burna Boy. "I had hoped for a little less chaos but they didn't keep their promise to finish things quicker," she said. "But as we always have a plan, and we try to execute that, and the players on the pitch, and we just kept having hope all the time, and belief, and they just showed up when it was really necessary and urgent." Victory in Switzerland was sweet revenge for Wiegman's team, who suffered bitter defeat against Spain in the World Cup final two years ago. The Lionesses were hosted at number 10 on Monday by Deputy Prime minister Angela Rayner and Sports Minister Stephanie Peacock while Starmer was in Scotland meeting US President Donald Trump. Rayner hailed the players as a "shining example of talent and excitement for women's football".
