The ambassadors of the European Union have approved an updated list of countries for which the travel restriction related to the COVID-19 pandemic is being lifted. According to a Radio Svoboda journalist, for the first time Ukraine is on the list.
This information will be updated on the official resources of the European Union today, July 14, in the afternoon.
Earlier this week, the leadership of the bloc voiced a proposal. It is advisory in nature and is not a direct reference to national governments.
The European Commission’s recommendation to open the EU’s borders to a specific list of countries is not legally binding. EU Member States individually approve final decisions on easing or tightening travel restrictions.
According to the new version of the document, entry is allowed to citizens who have undergone a full course of vaccination no later than two weeks before the trip.
Vaccines must be approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) or the World Health Organization (WHO). These vaccines are Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson, as well as Sinopharm.
In addition, EU members can receive tourists from countries where the number of COVID-19 infections in the last two weeks does not exceed 75 cases per 100 thousand people.
