US tourists who have been fully vaccinated against covid-19 will be able to travel to the EU this summer, the European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen has told The New York Times.
The coronavirus vaccines used in the United States should enable “free movement and travel” to the EU, said von der Leyen in the interview, published on Sunday 25 April.
However the EC head did not give a time frame outlining when the existing travel restrictions might be eased.
Non-essential travel between the US and EU has been restricted since March 2020 to curb the spread of covid-19.
