EU recommends lifting travel restrictions on 15 countries from July 1
The EU Council has officially recommended to lift travel restrictions on 15 countries when external borders reopen from July 1, Euronews reports.
An EU diplomatic source confirmed to Euronews earlier Tuesday that the draft list of 15 countries we reported on Monday has enough votes to pass.
According to the source, the list has already aroused controversy after sources revealed that the United States - the worst-affected country worldwide by COVID-19 with more than 2.6 million cases, is not on the list of approved countries.
China is on the list but only in the event that EU citizens are allowed to travel there as well.
