EU plans 30-day travel ban and state aid framework
EC president Ursula von der Leyen has unveiled proposals for a 30-day restriction of travel to the EU, as well as development of a framework for state aid to affected businesses. Von der Leyen says EU member states have been taking measures intended to reduce pressure on the healthcare system created by the coronavirus outbreak. But she says that such measures are “effective only when co-ordinated”. “The less travel, the more we can contain the virus,” she states, but adds that there is a need to maintain critical flows of goods. She says that the Commission has submitted proposals to heads of state for a temporary restriction on travel to the EU, which would be in place initially for 30 days. <br/>
