European Union Concurs To Lift Tour Restrictions On American Tourists
The European Union is recommending that member countries begin lifting restrictions on tourists from the United States.
EU members agreed Wednesday to add the United States to the list of nations from which restrictions on non-essential travel must be lifted. The move was adopted during a meeting in Brussels of permanent representatives to the 27-nation bloc.
The recommendation is non-binding, and national governments have authority to require test results or vaccination data and to set other entry conditions.
Some EU nations have already started permitting in American visitors.
In addition to the U.S., the representatives of EU nations added 5 other nations to the tourist tour list: North Macedonia, Albania, Serbia, Lebanon and Taiwan. The European Council updates the list based on epidemiological data. It gets reviewed each and every two weeks.
The representatives also decided to remove a reciprocity clause for the special administrative regions of China Macau and Hong Kong.
The recommendations are anticipated to be formalized on Friday.
