BY SAMUEL PETREQUIN ASSOCIATED PRESS

BRUSSELS — American tour- ists could soon be visiting conti- nental Europe again, more than a year after the European Union restricted travel to the 27-na- tion bloc to a bare minimum to contain the coronavirus. EU officials said Monday they are completing plans to allow Americans back this summer, depending on the course of the outbreak on both sides of the Atlantic. The EU Commission, the EU’s executive arm, will make a pro- posal soon to its member states but didn’t say when exactly leisure travel could resume or whether a reciprocal approach will apply to Europeans want- ing to visit the U.S., which has closed its doors to tourists from the continent. Also, it was not immediately clear whether all U.S. tourists would have to produce proof of vaccination for entry, or whether a negative test for the coronavirus or proof of recent recovery from COVID-19 would be acceptable instead. “These are among the ques- tions we’ll still need to figure out,” European Commission spokesman Adalbert Jahnz said. Jahnz said the EU’s exec- utive body is hoping to restore ASSOCIATED PRESS trans-Atlantic leisure travel “as Marcel Schmetz raises the U.S. flag next to a WWII American Sherman tank at his Remember Museum 39-45 in Thimister-Clermont, Belgium. soon as it is safe to do so.” Tourists from the United States who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 could be able to travel across the European Union this summer, On Sunday, The New York officials from the 27-nation bloc said Monday.
