European officials finalizing plans to allow US tourists back this summer
BRUSSELS - The European Union is finalizing plans to allow tourists from the United States to travel to the 27-nation bloc this summer, officials said Monday.More than a year after the EU restricted travel to the region to a bare minimum in a bid to contain the pandemic, the European Commission said it would make a recommendation to member states to allow American travelers back.The commission didn’t say when exactly tourists will be allowed back inside the bloc, and if a reciprocal approach will apply to European tourists willing to travel to the U.S.European Commission spokesman Adalbert Jahnz told reporters that the EU’s executive body is hoping to restore nonessential "trans-Atlantic travel as soon as it is safe to do so."FILE - A
