European Union Struggling To Coordinate COVID-19 Travel Restrictions

The European Union’s decision to issue a travel restriction for its citizens in the wake of new sanctions against Iran has created chaos. The EU is struggling to coordinate COVID-19 with international airlines, sparking confusion and questions as many passengers struggle to make plans. Experts warn that this sort of bureaucratic overreach could lead Europe down a path towards isolationism

The “u.s. travel ban update today” is a tweet from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announcing that the United States will be implementing new restrictions on citizens traveling to Europe and other countries in the Middle East and Africa.

During the busy Christmas travel season, European Union authorities are at odds over prospective travel restrictions in reaction to the COVID-19 Omicron strain.

According to Reuters, the EU’s 27 member states have been discussing how to limit the virus without causing undue disruption to travel inside the Schengen zone, which is borderless.

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are common in many different species of animals, including camels, cattle, cats, and bats.

Italy, Greece, Portugal, and Ireland are just a few of the nations that have lately increased travel restrictions for EU citizens. For example, till the end of January, Italy will require all tourists from EU nations to demonstrate a negative COVID-19 test upon arrival, even if they have been vaccinated. Travelers who have not been immunized must stay in quarantine for five days.

According to Reuters, authorities determined that “any limits should be coordinated, based on objective criteria, and should not disproportionately impair free movement between member states” during a recent meeting of EU leaders in Brussels. “Adding tests to vaccination certificates dilutes the usefulness of the COVID-19 certificate,” an unnamed EU official said, referring to the document that permits holders to freely travel across EU borders if they have been vaccinated, recovered, or recently tested negative.

The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control announced this week that Omicron was more transmissible and likely to become the dominant variant in Europe within the first two months of 2022, but stopped short of suggesting travel restrictions, noting that the variant was already present in many EU states and was frequently transmitted locally.

According to the European Commission, member states should only need a negative test for those entering from outside the EU, regardless of vaccination status. The Commission is also proposing a revision to the COVID-19 certificate that would allow for unrestricted mobility across the EU for up to nine months after the first immunization cycle is completed.

On Tuesday, EU officials are expected to gather for further talks.
