EU calls for end of UK travel bans
Travel bans from the UK to the European Union should be lifted, but people should be "discouraged" from making journeys across the Channel, the European Commission has recommended.
It has called for a joint approach from EU members after individual countries imposed emergency restrictions, including a 48-hour closure of the border with France.
Flight and train bans "should be discontinued given the need to ensure essential travel and avoid supply chain disruptions", the commission said.
EU justice commissioner Didier Reynders said: "Member states should take co-ordinated action to discourage non-essential travel between the UK and the EU."
But "at the same time, blanket travel bans should not prevent thousands of EU and UK citizens from returning to their homes".
The transport commissioner, Adina Valean, says it is "crucial transport workers are exempt from any restrictive measures".
