Italian Premier Giuseppe Conte and
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez have written to European
Commission President Ursula von der Leyen calling for
coordination in the opening of EU borders after the coronavirus
restrictions.
The initiative was announced by María Jesús Montero, the
Spanish government's spokesperson.
The letter calls for a coordinated system to reopen borders
within the EU and with non-EU countries that does not
discriminate against any nation.
"The time has come to re-activate our economies, regain
normality and an important part of the European project, the
freedom of movement within the Schengen area," the letter reads.
