The leader of the Christian Democrats in the European Parliament (PPE), Manfred Weber, has called for EU-level rules for hotels and restaurants in the debate on opening borders in the Corona crisis. “We need a travel certificate for the whole of Europe,” Weber told the “Passauer Neue Presse.” This is the only way to ensure that tourists find the necessary hygiene standards.

Principles that were important before the crisis would have to be upheld at planned border openings, Weber said. “European freedom of travel is a valuable asset, it is a fundamental right for all Europeans.” In this respect, there should be no “bilateral agreements” either. “If you want to separate our continent into first and second class Europeans, you are finally putting the unity of Europe at risk.”
