The need “for common EU approach” and “joint European action” in the situation that has been created after China’s decision to lift the restrictions related to the coronavirus, but also the increase in cases, the Swedish presidency notes EU.

In particular, the Swedish presidency is convening a meeting of the Council’s crisis response mechanism (IPCR) on Wednesday 4 January to discuss the coordination of possible EU entry requirements.

The lifting of exit restrictions from China, combined with the increasing spread of COVID-19 in the country, has created the need for joint European action, the announcement points out.

“The Presidency is seeking a common EU approach to the possible introduction of entry requirements. It is important that we take the necessary measures quickly”, underlines the Swedish Minister of Social Affairs and Public Health Jakob Fersmed.
