I doubt that the EU will admit countries without reciprocity.

He's just giving a regular Canada Day speech. I just read Canada will extend their mandatory 14-day quarantine requirement which was expiring today. I doubt he'll let in EU travellers.

A terrible signal that they are admitting those countries without any reciprocity.

They should have allowed only the national of countries accepting EU travelers. That's how it should work between developed nations with a friendly relationship.

I hope this friendly move will push countries like Japan/South Korea/Thailand at least to allow us, but it seems very unlikely at this point.

Here is the official statement : https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/p...ird-countries/

It's hard to understand what is the exact policy regarding reciprocity.

"Reciprocity should also be taken into account regularly and on a case-by-case basis."

Let's see if the countries mentioned accept us quickly, and if they don't, if EU revoke this decision.

Reciprocity would be nice I guess, but I have no problem with the EU unilaterally opening up to citizens of countries with low infection rates.
Most likely, very few people from those countries will travel to the EU anyway because they will have to quarantine when they travel home after their trip to the EU.

Every country is entitled to their own public health policies and decisions, so I disagree with your point “That's how it should work between developed nations with a friendly relationship.”

Yeah. As a Canadian, I don't see a lot of us suddenly jetting off to Europe with our quarantine requirement upon our return and lack of travel insurance.

I don't see the U.S. turning the infection rates around any time soon. The intrafrastructure, the mentality, the administration aren't there. Which is probably why the U.S. focuses on reciprocity rather than infection rates.

The NYT report that:

"Travelers’ country of residence, not their nationality, will be the determining factor for their ability to travel to countries in the European Union, officials said, and while the policy will not be legally binding, all 27 member nations will be under pressure to comply."

What does it mean, EU citizens won't be allowed in if they live abroad? W T F?
