The European Council updated the list of countries where it is “recommended” to remove travel restrictions.
According to the list, external borders, which were completely closed in March as part of the epidemic measures, will gradually be opened to Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Rwanda, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand and Uruguay.
If EU countries grant their citizens a travel permit, the borders will also be open to China.
Travel restrictions from EU countries will continue for all countries except those mentioned.
The EU borders will also be closed to Canada, Georgia and Tunisia, where it was recommended to remove the travel restrictions in the list above.
On the other hand, the list will be updated again according to the Covid-19 situation in the countries and the restrictive measures.
TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS
In March, the EU imposed non-mandatory travel restrictions on 27 member states, as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland, which are part of the Schengen area, to prevent the spread of the epidemic.
The list, which is not binding on member countries, has the character of a “recommendation”.
There are also criticisms that the list, which is said to be based on scientific data, is political and not based on objective criteria.
