In particular-

"Charges for paying by card are banned in several EU countries,
including France, Germany, Italy and Portugal.


You mean over the counter purchases or on-line?


I don't know what they mean. Online, I assumed, but not sure.

But in the UK the
practice appears to be spreading."

Does that affect, say, airlines? An EU-wide directive would be quite
attractive IMO...

Well, AirBerlin certainly applies a service charge for Etix credit card
purchases. Let's not even mention Ryanair.
