The European Commission has called on all EU member countries to lift their border restrictions by the end of this month and allow passport-free travel across the bloc.
The virus situation was “fast improving”, according to Home Affairs Commissioner Ylva Johansson.
“We are coming very close to a situation where we should lift all the internal border restrictions and border checks,” she told broadcaster Euronews, adding that “a good date should be the end of June”.
She also said she was happy to see that EU members were already easing border controls.
Across Europe, countries are phasing out their domestic restrictions and some have begun to reopen borders over recent days. There’s no indication yet as to when the EU’s external borders will reopen.
