Europe plans to open its borders with some 50 countries this week and is in the process of drawing up a final list so that foreigners can start to and from the continent. A draft of the list monitors that the United States, Russia and Brazil are among those on the list.
About 5 countries that add Australia, New Zealand, China, Cuba, Japan, South Korea, Morocco and Vietnam do so.
“The concept is, from 1 July, to put on the table a reservation of countries abroad from which one can pass, or leave,” the French Secretary of State told the Minister of Europe and Foreign Affairs, Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne.
Earlier this month, the European Union announced that it will begin opening its borders to protect the Covid-1nine countries from 1 July. As it prepares to lift the ban for some tourists, the EU is deciding exactly who can travel at the beginning of summer and where Europeans can spend their holidays.
“The aim is to draw up a first list, out of about 50 countries, that the pandemic and do not jeopardize the fitness of the French and Europeans,” says Lemoyne.
Mapping the countries that would have the green light to Europe, and where European lers can spend their holidays, is never an undeniable task, France Info told tv on Friday. “It’s an incredibly intense task, we’re doing it among European nations, because what we’d like is for everything to be coordinated, so that it takes a gradual stand.”
The French minister says the list is being taken on the basis of a “very objective” epidemiological knowledge of Covid-19, “as infection levels”, either in EU/Schengen countries and internationally.
The main things he planned are expected to appear acircular on Wednesday. Lemoyne reported that diplomatic missions abroad deserve to help EU members prepare for the return of foreign tourism. “We are following the plan, our ambassadors are meeting from this noon … But based on the aptitude indications we are setting, we will soon have the list.”
Countries to which Europe’s borders are open can expand over time, he added. “Every fortnight, this list of countries can be counter-sensitive to (include) countries that revel in the epidemic under control.”
According to data from the World Health Organization, a bubble is quite likely to spread between Europe and many western Pacific countries (Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, etc.), Southeast Asia and Africa, where the degrees of infection are similar or higher. . On the other hand, new daily times in the United States increased to more than 27,000 on June 23 (compared directly to 5, two hundred on June 12). In Brazil, the figure is 17,459. In Canada 318. In France, 325.
When asked about reopening the borders between Europe, the United States and Canada, Lemoyne evaded the question. However, he advised that this was unlikely.
“It’s probably not the maximum that comes with a stock of countries today … Because precisely, this is done on the basis of very strict fitness criteria, the trends of infections as well. All this in collaboration with the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.
“Particularly in the Americas, Latin America, it includes countries where the virus is circulating very actively. Brazil first.”
You can see if this leaves a ray of hope for travel bans on both sides of the Atlantic. Brazil is clearly out of the question. Canada and the United States may not. Unless, as the French economy points out in line with the Capital Month: “The presence of the epidemic, a criterion used in the design of this list, may also make the American continent unavailable to the French in the summer.
People deserve to stay close to home for now, Lemoyne said. “For the French to spend more (than Europe), take a little more time.”
As for the dangers of opening Europe to other travellers, Frenchguy replied: “We are taking all criminal precautions. In terms of infection, the diversity of Covid-1nine times in any country. That is what guides our decision AND in the European Union, we see that we have been given everything, more or less, under the control of the epidemic.
“In France, we are now able to deploy the red carp for tourists from countries such as Italy, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. Because 3 quarters of our tourism in France is European.”
Since 17 March, restrictions have prevented all leibound in 30 European countries. Mabig’s apple has also installed border controls of position transients, avoiding everything they still have among their Fellow Europeans.
All Almaximum checks have been removed and are expected to be in a giant component until July 1, Lemoyne says. “This has been being done gradually, since 1 June, some of the members of the European Union.”
