Mr. Filip Cornelis:

I hope the Deputy will forgive me but I am not in a position to comment on future initiatives of the Commission. What I can say is that this is another example where the original Commission proposal made a greater distinction between orange and red countries than did the final recommendation as adopted. It contained a little more granularity so that measures could be adapted accordingly. What really matters is which border measures will or will not be applied in respect of travel between zones of the same colour, or for people travelling to a lower, or better, colour region-----
