  • The EU criticised Hungary on Tuesday for a discriminatory border policy and said it will propose a bloc-wide approach to travel restrictions in order to more fairly fight a resurgence of the coronavirus outbreak. Hungary - which is often in the crosshairs of Brussels - has since Tuesday implemented a ban on entry for foreigners that will remain in place for at least a month. The measure however exempts Poland, Slovakia and Czech Republic - countries of the so-called Visegrad group that often align on EU policy, especially on migration. Top EU officials formally addressed Budapest over the exemption, warning that discriminating among member states was a violation of the rules governing the EU's passport-free Schengen area. "Any measures that do not comply with those fundamental principles of EU law should of course be immediately retracted," tweeted EU Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders. "We will be speaking to our respective Hungarian ministerial counterparts shortly to request further information," he added. The commission, the EU's executive arm, meanwhile said that it would "in the coming days" unveil recommendations on how EU member states can better harmonise travel restrictions. At the beginning of the coronavirus crisis, many countries reacted with blanket border closures also for EU partner states. Since then, most member countries have pursued a more localised approach that takes into account the situation in specific regions. However, even this leads to a patchwork of measures that is difficult for citizens to understand. For example, Germany has a standing travel warning for the Belgian capital Brussels, but not France. Both the commission and Germany, which holds the EU's rotating presidency, are now trying to bring some order to the chaos even though border policy remains a strict national competence. A commission spokesman pointed to three main aspects it believes should be regulated: common criteria for epidemiological risks; a colour-coding system for risk areas; and an agreed response to inbound travel from risk areas such as testing or quarantines. "This is quite a demanding task, as this is all a national responsibility," an EU diplomat admitted. mt-arp/pvh
