IMPACT – HIGH
The European Council updated the list of countries for which it recommends travel restrictions be lifted, removing the U.S. and four other countries from the list.
Key Points:
Additional Information: Member states have the right to impose or lift entry restrictions and are not legally bound to apply the EU Council’s recommendations.
BAL Analysis: The change will likely result in new restrictions for many U.S.-based travelers. While member states often implement the council’s recommendations, exact policies will vary from country to country.
U.S. employers and employees should continue to consult their BAL professional before planning any international travel. The response to the COVID-19 pandemic continues to develop, and BAL will provide additional updates as information becomes available.
