Germany and France to Propose EU-wide Quarantine Rules for British Arrivals
Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron will tell EU leaders to impose quarantine restrictions on British tourists to stop the spread of the delta variant of coronavirus at a summit in Brussels today. The German Chancellor said she would “talk very critically” at the European Council meeting and upbraid the leaders of tourism dependent countries for "a failure even today to adequately control arrival from non-EU states where virus variants are proliferating." Different EU countries have different rules for visitors from the UK, where the delta variant makes up the majority of cases. EU countries can make their own decisions on border and health policy, including coronavirus restrictions, but there are efforts, now spearheaded by Mrs Merkel, to ensure the bloc’s response is the same in every member state. Emmanuel Macron, the French president, signalled he would support Mrs Merkel. Mrs Merkel warned that Europe was on “thin ice” in its fight against the pandemic and that the delta variant risked undermining recent progress in cutting down infections in her traditional pre-EU summit address to the Bundestag on Thursday. France, Germany, Italy and Poland either have or will introduce quarantine restrictions. Tourism-dependent countries such as Spain, Greece, and Croatia are expected to ignore the German demand for fear of another lost season. At the same time UK is expected to approve plans for fully vaccinated people to be able to travel to amber list countries later this summer and not be subject to quarantine when they return home.

Secretary General for International Economic Relations of Foreign Affairs Ioannis Smyrlis participates in the Skopje Economic Forum themed “A new dawn: Laying the foundations for prosperity and stability” (Skopje, 23 June 2021).
The Secretary General for International Economic Relations at the Hellenic Ministry of Foreign Affairs, President of Enterprise Greece and Chairman of the Board, Mr. Ioannis Smyrlis, participated today in the Skopje Economic Forum themed “A new dawn: Laying the foundations for prosperity and stability”, held in Skopje. In his speech entitled “Greece – North Macedonia, Economic Business Cooperation”, Mr. Ioannis Smyrlis stressed out the fact that today’s event is a strong proof of our will to strengthen the bonds among neighbors and lay out the foundations for further collaboration in trade, investments, connectivity, energy, development assistance, logistics, tourism, and other sectors. The Secretary General for International Economic Relations highlighted Greece’s support to Balkan countries’ full membership of the European Union, subject to the fulfillment of the conditions set by the EU, stating at the same time that this is the only way forward. As the oldest member of the European Union and the biggest economy of the region, Mr. Smyrlis asserted that Greece’ s goal is to achieve stability and integration, through a partnership that defends and safeguards key EU values, namely fundamental rights and democratic governance. Mr Smyrlis referred, inter alia, to the Balkan Forum on Regional Cooperation, held in September in Thessaloniki, which is Greece’s gateway to the whole region and will focus on advancing sustainable and inclusive development in the Balkan counties. The Secretary General for International Economic Relations pointed out finally that relations between the two countries have improved in recent years, stressing though that the full, stable and good faith implementation of the Prespa Agreement is obviously critical for further bilateral progress, as well as for fostering North Macedonia’s EU perspective.
