EU to Discuss Introducing Visa Regime With US, Canada on April 12
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) The United States is in continued dialogue with the European Union countries about visa requirements, a State Department official told Sputnik on Friday.

“We have maintained an open dialogue with EU officials — as well as officials from those Member States that require visas for travel to the United States — on this matter,” the official said.

Spokeswoman for the European Commission (EC) Mina Andreeva told Sputnik earlier on Friday that the EC will hold a discussion on April 12 on the possibility of introducing a visa regime with the United States and Canada.

“A January 2014 amendment to the EU Visa Code requires the European Commission to seek visa-free entry for all EU Member States to countries that can enter the EU visa-free,” the official added.

Currently, most EU states can enter the United States without a visa, except for Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Poland, and Romania.
