Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Issues Affecting the Aviation Sector: Discussion
Mr. Filip Cornelis:
Unfortunately, the pandemic is quite active in most corners of Europe, so we in the EU member states are all in very similar circumstances. Nevertheless, different states are applying different measures to travel, which is where we need to make improvements to have both clarity for the travelling public and a level of stability and predictability. One of the underlying elements of the traffic light system is that in principle, for travel between two areas of the same colour there is no need or justification for imposing restrictions such as quarantining or testing of non-symptomatic passengers. What will really matter is what conclusions or actions follow that colour coding, which depends on each member state's decision.
