WTTC congratulates the EU on the adoption of the new European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS), a pre-authorization system which allows the EU to know who is entering the EU, from where and if they pose a risk to EU security.
Kui ETIAS hakkab tööle, peavad kõik viisavabad kolmandate riikide kodanikud, kes plaanivad reisida Schengeni alale, taotlema reisieelset luba. Selle eesmärk on lihtsustada ELi reisimist ja lihtsustada piirikontrolli.
During negotiations, WTTC stressed the importance of the process to be made as easy as possible for legitimate travelers.
In addition to the ease of process, WTTC also advocated for the fees to remain at a reasonable level, one that did not discourage travelers from coming to Europe. The final fee of seven euros meets this balance.
“We see this as an important first step in the digitalization of travel. The ultimate aim will be the use of biometric technology to ensure seamless, more efficient and more secure travel. WTTC is committed to enhancing security and improving the entire passenger journey. This will essentially maximize the potential of the Travel & Tourism to create jobs and drive economic growth,’ stated Gloria Guevara, President & CEO World Travel & Tourism Council.
ETIAS on alla 18-aastastele ja üle 70-aastastele tasuta.
ETIASe taotlemise eesmärk on olla kiire ja lihtne, nõudes vaid reisidokumenti, krediitkaarti ja juurdepääsu internetile. Valdav enamus taotlejatest saab positiivse vastuse mõne minuti jooksul. Kui oleks vaja lisainfot, dokumentatsiooni või intervjuud, siis pakutakse erinevaid võimalusi arvestades reisija olukorda.
WTTC welcomes the fact that the needs of the travel and tourism community were taken into account whilst ensuring enhanced EU security.
Uus süsteem võeti täna (neljapäeval, 5. juulil) vastu Euroopa Parlamendi täiskogul Strasbourgis ja see peaks rakenduma 2021. aastal.
