Summary The resolution demanded equal treatment and reciprocity for all EU citizens from Washington
WEB DESK (Dunya News) - The European Parliament passed a non-binding resolution calling on the European Commission to force US Citizens to apply for visas before visiting Europe.
The resolution that was passed by a show of hands demanded equal treatment and reciprocity for all EU citizens from Washington.
It is worth mentioning here that the US authorities have continued to refuse visa-free access to people from certain EU countries such Poland, Croatia, Bulgaria, and Romania, along with Cyprus..
The members of EU Parliament urged the Commission that necessary legal measures should be adopted in this regard within two months.
Earlier, the European Travel Commission (ETC) has already warned that placing visa restrictions on America will have a negative impact on the EU’s economy.
"The EU Commission is legally obliged to take measures temporarily reintroducing visa requirements for U.S. citizens, given that Washington still does not grant visa-free access to nationals of five EU countries," the Parliament revealed in a statement.
