The European Union takes a big step toward relaxing tourism travel for visitors.

EU officials and politicians are now hotly debating and disagreeing on whether and how to open up to tourists this summer.BRUSSELS -- The European Union took a step toward relaxing travel rules for tourists from outside the 27-nation bloc Wednesday when EU ambassadors agreed on measures to allow in fully vaccinated visitors.

The European Council made up of EU nations “will now recommend that member states ease some of the current restrictions" for those who have been vaccinated, European Commission spokesperson Christian Wigand said. He didn’t give a precise date for when the borders will reopen since EU countries have yet to formally approve the measures.

“The U.S. has been a leader in many aspects of managing the pandemic but is behind our global competitors in pursuing an international economic reopening," Roger Dow, the trade group's president and CEO, said. “The millions of travel-related U.S. jobs that were lost to the pandemic won’t come back on the strength of domestic travel alone, so identifying the path to restarting international visitation is essential to an overall economic recovery.

Wigand said ambassadors also agreed on an “emergency brake" mechanism designed to stop dangerous virus variants from entering EU nations through quickly enacted travel limits if the infection situation deteriorates in a non-EU country.

That's a great thing (and long overdue) for the European Union, but these loosened regulations also be extended to people without vaccinations.
