欧洲重开边境,欧盟委员会:动作还不够快!

随着新冠肺炎感染率下降和欧洲传统暑期即将来临,欧盟国家开始重新开放内部边境——但是各国开放关口的步调不一,让欧盟的高级官员颇感忧虑。

欧盟有些国家之间的内部边境已经重新开放,比如奥地利和捷克。本周,将有更多成员国加入这一行列,届时法国和德国等主要大国将允许欧盟其他国家的公民入境。不过,匈牙利、丹麦等国目前仍暂时关闭部分边境。

正在竭尽全力拯救旅游业的欧盟委员会对此并不满意。周四,欧委会再次呼吁成员国要协商开放边境——这不仅仅是为了保障欧盟公民至关重要的行动自由,也为了便于欧盟重新开放外部边境。

欧盟执行机构表示:“有几个成员国(已经)取消了欧盟内部的边境限制,其他国家(计划)从2020年6月15日起开放边境。欧盟委员会强烈建议其余成员国在6月15日之前落实取消欧盟内部自由流动禁令和解除边境管控的相关安排。”

对于欧盟将以何种形式对非欧盟国家开放边境,欧盟委员会再次呼吁各国需要多加协商。毕竟,如果人们可以在欧盟内部自由旅行,那么成员国考量哪些国家的公民能安全入境的意义就不大了。

欧盟内政事务专员伊尔瓦•约翰逊表示:“取消欧盟内部的所有边境管控后,我们提议采取明确而灵活的方式,从7月1日起解除前往欧盟的旅行限制。”

“国际旅行是开展旅游和商务活动的关键,也对亲友重聚十分重要。虽然我们所有人都必须保持审慎的态度,但现在已经是时候要做好具体准备,对那些和欧盟公共卫生状况相当的国家放宽限制和恢复办理签证了。”

此前,欧委会建议关闭欧盟外部边境至6月15日,但爱沙尼亚等国对开放他国公民入境依然非常谨慎。欧盟各国内政部长在上周五的会议上达成了共识,计划最早将于7月1日开放欧盟边境。*(财富中文网)

As COVID-19 infection rates fall and Europe’s traditional summer holiday season begins, borders between countries in the European Union are starting to open up again—but in a very patchwork fashion. And that is worrying the EU’s top officials.

Some internal EU borders have already reopened, including between Austria and the Czech Republic. A bunch more are set to follow at the start of next week, when heavyweights such as France and Germany will start letting in people from any other EU country. But certain countries, such as Hungary and Denmark, are set to leave some of their borders closed for now.

The European Commission, which is desperate to help the bloc keep its tourism industry alive, is not happy. On Thursday it renewed its call for member states to coordinate their openings—not just for the sake of the EU’s crucial freedom of movement, but because doing so will make it easier to then reopen the EU’s external borders.

“Several member states [have] already lifted restrictions within the EU and others [plan] to do so as of 15 June 2020. The Commission strongly encourages the remaining member states to finalize the process of removing restrictions to free movement and lifting internal border controls within the EU by 15 June 2020,” the EU executive body said.

As for how the EU lifts restrictions on people arriving from the rest of the world, the Commission is again calling for more coordination. After all, if people can travel freely within the EU then it makes little sense for different EU countries to have their own ideas about which countries’ citizens are safe for entry and which are not.

“Following the lifting of all internal border checks inside the Union, we are proposing a clear and flexible approach towards removing restrictions on travel to the EU starting on 1 July,” said Ylva Johansson, the Commission’s home affairs chief.

“International travel is key for tourism and business, and for family and friends reconnecting. While we will all have to remain careful, the time has come to make concrete preparations for lifting restrictions with countries whose health situation is similar to the EU’s and for resuming visa operations.”

The Commission had previously recommended that the closure of the EU’s external borders expire on June 15, but some countries—such as Estonia—remain very cautious about who they let in. EU countries’ interior ministers agreed at a Friday meeting that the bloc’s border will stay shut until June 30 at the earliest.
