The JRC in close collaboration with the Secretariat General and with the support of DG GROW, MOVE, HOME, SANTE, JUST, COMM, SJ, DGT, and the Council –
has developed the website Re-open EU which will be launched on 15 June 2020.
To help people confidently plan their holidays and travels during the summer and beyond, the platform will provide real-time information on borders, available means of transport, travel restrictions, public health and safety measures such as on physical distancing or wearing of facemasks, as well as other practical information for travellers.
The ‘Re-open EU’ platform is one of the measures announced by the Commission in its Tourism and Transport package of 13 May to help European tourism resume safely while respecting the necessary health precautions. ‘Re-open EU’ will act as a key point of reference for anyone travelling in the EU as it centralises up-to-date information from the Commission and the Member States in one place. It will allow people to browse country-specific information for each EU Member State through an interactive map, offering updates on applicable national measures as well as practical advice for visitors in the country. It will be translated in 24 languages.
