BREAKING: EU Allowed Vaccinated U.S.Tourists Visit (Covid Passport In Play)

[RAMROD 117,286]

American tourists who have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 will be able to visit the European Union over the summer, the head of the bloc’s executive body said in an interview with The New York Times on Sunday, more than a year after shutting down nonessential travel from most countries to limit the spread of the coronavirus.

The fast pace of vaccination in the United States, and advanced talks between authorities there and the European Union over how to make vaccine certificates acceptable as proof of immunity for visitors, will enable the European Commission, the executive branch of the European Union, to recommend a switch in policy that could see trans-Atlantic leisure travel restored.

These discussions are continuing, officials in Brussels said, and it is possible that a low-tech solution would be used in the near future to enable people to travel freely on the basis of vaccination. For example, a traveler to Europe could get an E.U. vaccine-certificate equivalent on arrival after showing a bona fide certificate issued by his or her own government.

The hope, officials said, is that this step would soon be unnecessary as government-issued vaccine certificates issued by foreign governments would be acceptable and readable in the European Union, and vice versa.

Dear European Union, 

Please stop the UK from visiting your countries. We deserve to be punished for how our Government treated you. 
 

Yours truly, 

A very angry Scottish European person.

Sorry if this was posted already. I haven't seen a thread about this yet.

The head of the European Commission said the bloc would switch policy, under certain conditions, after more than a year of mostly banning nonessential travel.

Before long American tourists may be able to visit Paris and the treasures of the Louvre, shown last summer.

BRUSSELS — American tourists who have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 will be able to visit the European Union over the summer, the head of the bloc’s executive body said in an interview with The New York Times on Sunday, more than a year after shutting down nonessential travel from most countries to limit the spread of the coronavirus.

The fast pace of vaccination in the United States, and advanced talks between authorities there and the European Union over how to make vaccine certificates acceptable as proof of immunity for visitors, will enable the European Commission, the executive branch of the European Union, to recommend a switch in policy that could see trans-Atlantic leisure travel restored.

“The Americans, as far as I can see, use European Medicines Agency-approved vaccines,” Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, said Sunday in an interview with The Times in Brussels. “This will enable free movement and the travel to the European Union.

“Because one thing is clear: All 27 member states will accept, unconditionally, all those who are vaccinated with vaccines that are approved by E.M.A.,” she added. The agency, the bloc’s drugs regulator, has approved all three vaccines being used in the United States, namely the Moderna, Pfizer/BioNTech and Johnson & Johnson shots.

*There are also rumors that the US will open its borders to the EU and U.K by mid may. This is probably a two way street. Greece, Denmark and Iceland have or are about to open up their their borders to vaccinated Americans so this is probably happening.

chromatica tour is happening

[Chromatislaps 34,854]

you know what, this is not smart, this will cause jealousy for those who are not vaccinated... the tourists will enjoy certain benefits and we have to wait... **** that... yall can wait. This will definitely cause riots/violence in the streets.

edit: read this from the perspective of someone who lives in the EU.. this comment is not about unvaccinated people in the US rioting in the US streets for their rights to travel

To be honest, people have the choice to get vaccinated or not (in America). It is what it is and people have to get with the times if they want to travel. You already had to get vaccinated to enter certain countries before covid. I think this was inevitable. There were riots because of the lockdowns and there will be riots after.
