The EU Commission has recommended easing restrictions on non-essential travel from overseas.
Under the plans, anyone who has received the last dose of an EU-approved vaccine at least two weeks beforehand will be permitted to travel.
The commission's proposal includes expanding the list of countries with low infection rates from which people can travel into the EU for non-essential reasons. Currently, such travel is permitted for third-country nationals travelling into the EU from Australia, New Zealand, Rwanda, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand and, subject to reciprocity, China. The commission suggested that entry should also be permitted for anyone that has received the last recommended dose of an EU-authorised vaccine at least 14 days before arrival, regardless of where they are travelling from.
But the proposals will also contain an "emergency brake" allowing member states to limit travel quickly in response to new variants or a deteriorating health situation in non-EU countries. This would be reviewed every two weeks.
The EU has already announced plans for a digital certificate, which would cover anyone who is either vaccinated against Covid-19, has a negative test or has recently recovered.
