Which travel restrictions now apply where in the EU?/ppWith entry and exit bans, exit restrictions and roadside checks, many European countries want to restrict or prevent Easter trips. In the Corona crisis, millions of people can only celebrate under massive restrictions this year./ph3France /h3pFrance’s interior minister stressed before the Easter holidays that in view of the coronavirus pandemic, travel should not be taken. “We are not taking a vacation during the exit restrictions,” Christophe Castaner told LCI television on Wednesday. He announced increased controls at the starting points for vacation trips on Friday. The range of trains for the weekend has also been reduced./ph3Austria /h3pEaster trips are hard to think of in Austria: the country should continue to run at minimum until at least Easter Monday. Exit restrictions apply and numerous shops are closed. Health Minister Rudolf Anschober (Greens) has announced that all hotels have to close./ph3Switzerland /h3pEaster excursions are not prohibited in Switzerland, the Swiss are still allowed to move outside alone or with families. But the holiday cantons of Graubünden and Ticino, which border Italy, do not want holiday guests. “Stay at home!” – This week they made this appeal to compatriots./p h3Belgium /h3pIn Belgium, the exit restrictions also apply to trips to the coast or the Ardennes. Unnecessary journeys are not allowed – and trips and vacations are part of that. This regulation currently applies up to and including April 19 and is controlled by the police. Even Brussels residents are not allowed to leave the city by car to go for a walk in the surrounding forests. Bike tours are allowed – if you keep the prescribed distance of at least 1.50 meters from other people./ph3Netherlands /h3pThe Netherlands want to prevent German and other foreign tourists from entering during Easter. How this is to be done should be discussed by the government at another corona crisis meeting scheduled for Thursday./ph3Czech Republic /h3pThe Czech Republic has imposed an entry ban for foreigners and an exit ban for Czech citizens, which currently applies until Easter Sunday and is likely to be extended. Hotels and restaurants are closed and exit restrictions apply. “Unfortunately, we will all have to spend Easter at home,” said Prime Minister Andrej Babis in a newspaper interview./ph3Poland /h3pIn Poland, the government has closed all parks, beaches and recreational areas to the public. Hotels and pensions were closed. Interior Minister Mariusz Kaminski said that places with tourist value would now be closely monitored by the police. Meanwhile, the mayors of several places in the popular holiday region of Masuria are complaining that guests from the capital are staying in hotels and private accommodation without permission./ph3Italy /h3pIn Italy, all previously applicable bans now apply until after Easter. These state, among other things, that nobody is allowed to move out of their community – only for work purposes or in health emergencies. This also means that all travel for pure pleasure is not permitted./ph3Great Britain /h3pJust before exit restrictions were in place, many people in the UK were traveling from metropolitan areas to second homes and trailer parks in rural areas and on the coast. The government wants to prevent this from happening again. We therefore warn against unnecessary travel. Only those who have to travel to work can continue to do so./ph3Norway /h3pThe Norwegians are also urged not to take any trips that are not absolutely necessary. The Easter holiday is canceled. But what hits the Norwegians particularly hard is that they are not even allowed to drive to their hut unless it is in their home community. Anyone who drives to the mountains anyway risks a hefty fine./ph3Spain /h3pIn Spain, with a few exceptions, people are not even allowed to leave the house. Violation can result in high fines and imprisonment. Dozens of rule breakers have already been put behind bars, so that hardly anyone will come up with the idea of ​​planning an Easter trip. Similar strict exit restrictions apply in Portugal./ph3Greece /h3p”This Easter will be different.” With this sentence, the Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis prepared his compatriots for the fact that the traditional Greek Easter lamb or brick will be baked in the oven this year instead of grilled outdoors as usual. “We’re staying at home this year,” he said. Because the Orthodox Church adheres to the old Julian calendar, Easter in Greece is celebrated a week later this year than by Catholic or Protestant believers.

All parliamentary groups, with the exception of the AfD, agreed on Thursday that politicians had waited far too long. The federal climate package met with different reactions in the current hour./ppPrime Minister Daniel Günther (CDU) assesses the results positively and sees many of the state’s demands being taken into account. Environment Minister Jan Philipp Albrecht (Greens), however, had expressed great disappointment./ppGünther said in the state parliament that climate protection was finally being taken seriously. A large majority wants to phase out fossil fuels. “That is good and right.” Germany could find imitators in the world and Schleswig-Holstein could take on a real pioneering role on the way to a climate-friendly future. The slack for wind energy is regrettable, said Günther. The economy will be helped to switch to a CO2-free future. This would not be possible without more wind power. The climate package is a step forward, but more needs to be done./ppPoliticians slept too long, said SPD parliamentary group leader Ralf Stegner. The climate package should neither be cheered nor demonized. CO2 is given a price that could have been higher, compliance with the climate targets is set and monitored, Stegner emphasized as positive. The bottom line is that the package brings more than what would have come out under Jamaica. Local public transport must become cheaper. At the same time, Stegner emphasized: “The aim must not be that those who already have to turn over every euro twice are ultimately left with total waiver”./ppThe grand coalition did not surprise for the better with the package, said Green party leader Eka von Kalben. There are correct approaches such as entry into a CO2 price, lower capping of wind energy and photovoltaics, discounting of rail traffic and increasing the cost of domestic flights. But the package is not ambitious enough. The country must act all the more. It had to end with “Pillepalle”./ppThe grand coalition had missed the chance of a big hit, said the FDP environmental politician Oliver Kumbartzky. He spoke of hectic messing about. For example, the electricity tax should have been lowered. Accelerated planning for the expansion of traffic routes is also required. Mobility must be improved, especially in rural areas. “We Free Democrats rely on technology and inventiveness instead of fear and asceticism.”/ppThe AfD applied for the current hour after Günther had advocated a CO2 price. AfD parliamentary group leader Jörg Nobis painted a bleak picture of Germany’s future with reference to the climate package. Energy is becoming a luxury. A German C02 price would have zero impact on the climate, but would end economic growth, said Nobis. He accused the grand coalition of a raid against the citizens. “You only talk fact-free and irresponsible,” said FDP man Kumbartzky./ppSchleswig-Holstein could be very satisfied with the climate package, said CDU parliamentary group leader Koch. It contains almost everything that has been initiated from Schleswig-Holstein. The highlight of the Kiel Federal Council initiative was to use the additional income from the CO2 pricing in a targeted manner to lower the EEG surcharge and thus reduce what is now the biggest obstacle to the energy transition. This is exactly what will happen now./ppSSW parliamentary group leader Lars Harms complained that the expansion of wind energy had been driven completely against the wall. Once again, a large majority clearly opposed the underground storage of carbon dioxide using CCS technology (CCS = Carbon Capture and Storage). Günther also confirmed this. There is also a law that prohibits CO2 storage in the country. He will also represent this position in the Federal Council. Unfortunately, the grand coalition in Berlin put the issue back on the agenda, said SSW parliamentary group leader Harms. CCS would be a contribution to continue to “look around” as before. That is the absolutely wrong way; the resistance of the citizens was great. “We want to avoid CO2 and not press it,” said the CDU environmental politician Heiner Rickers./p pFinally, the coalition factions agreed with the SPD and SSW on a motion that rejects CCS not only in the country, but also in the North and Baltic Seas. “This is a huge success not only for the SSW, but for people and nature,” commented Harms./ppIt was supposed to dock in Vietnam – but then the authorities were banned: The German “Aidavita” with 1,100 passengers is not allowed to dock. Does the fear of the coronavirus play a role? /ppThe cruise ship “Aidavita” of the Rostock shipping company Aida Cruises was unable to call at the Vietnamese port city of Cai Lan in Halong Bay. The local tourism authority has banned passengers and crew from going ashore. A justification was not given, said a spokesman for Aida Cruises. /ppOnly recently, several Asian countries had banned the cruise ship “Westerdam” from docking for fear of a possible coronavirus introduction.
