WASHINGTON: A top European Union official said on Sunday that Americans who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 should be able to travel to Europe by summer, easing existing travel restrictions.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told The New York Times that the union's 27 members would"accept, unconditionally, all those who are vaccinated with vaccines that are approved by the EMA"."The Americans, as far as I can see, use European Medicines Agency-approved vaccines," von der Leyen said."This will enable free movement and travel to the European Union.

She did not say when travel could resume.
