COMMENTAIRE DE RA\u00cbL :<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n
Une tr\u00e8s bonne d\u00e9cision ! Tous les pays devraient faire de m\u00eame dans le cadre de la r\u00e9ciprocit\u00e9. Pourquoi les pays libres devraient-ils accepter que leurs citoyens doivent passer par des visas compliqu\u00e9s pour se rendre aux \u00c9tats-Unis, alors que les citoyens am\u00e9ricains peuvent visiter leur pays librement ? Le double standard n’est pas acceptable. C’est aussi une facette de l’imp\u00e9rialisme am\u00e9ricain et il faut y mettre fin.<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Le Parlement europ\u00e9en a adopt\u00e9 une r\u00e9solution non contraignante demandant \u00e0 Bruxelles de forcer les Am\u00e9ricains \u00e0 demander des visas avant de visiter l’Europe, \u00e0 moins que Washington n’adh\u00e8re \u00e0 une politique de r\u00e9ciprocit\u00e9 des visas et ne cesse de discriminer les citoyens de l’est de l’UE.<\/p>\n

La r\u00e9solution, adopt\u00e9e \u00e0 main lev\u00e9e, exige l’\u00e9galit\u00e9 de traitement et la r\u00e9ciprocit\u00e9 pour tous les citoyens europ\u00e9ens de Washington, alors que les \u00c9tats-Unis continuent de refuser l’acc\u00e8s sans visa aux personnes originaires de Pologne, de Croatie, de Bulgarie et de Roumanie, ainsi qu’\u00e0 Chypre. Other 23 EU member states can enter the US using the Visa Waiver Programme (VWP).<\/p>\n

The European lawmakers urged the EU Commission to adopt the necessary legal measures \u201cwithin two months\u201d to limit American visa-free travel to Europe.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe EU Commission is legally obliged to take measures temporarily reintroducing visa requirements for US citizens, given that Washington still does not grant visa-free access to nationals of five EU countries,\u201d the EU parliament said in a press release.<\/p>\n

The violation of VWP was first reported in April 2014, when the European Commission was notified that five countries, including the US, were not meeting their obligations to allow all EU nationals visa-free entry. American nationals, however, are still allowed to enter the EU without obtaining a visa.<\/p>\n

Brussels notified Washington of the violation on April 12, 2014, and gave the US a choice to amend the practice within 24 months. As of now, the restrictions by the Americans are still in place.<\/p>\n

If the US does not lift visa barriers by April, the Commission is required to act and suspend the visa waiver for US nationals for 12 months, unless either parliament or the EU Council object.<\/p>\n

Prior to Thursday\u2019s vote, the European Travel Commission (ETC) warned that placing visa restrictions on America will have a negative impact on the EU\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very concerned about the economic and political impact of a suspension of visa waiver for US nationals,\u201d Eduardo Santander, executive director of the ETC, said in a letter to MEPs.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaking it more difficult for US citizens to travel to Europe would certainly deprive the European travel and tourism sector of essential revenue, and put thousands of European jobs at stake in one of the few sectors which experienced a strong growth in employment,\u201d he added, according to the Guardian.<\/p>\n

To avoid placing restrictions on Americans, the commission, according to Reuters, has already contacted Donald Trump\u2019s administration \u201cto push for full visa reciprocity.\u201d The issue could be resolved at the next EU-US ministerial meeting penciled in for June 15.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will report on further progress made before the end of June and continue to work closely with both the European Parliament and the Council,\u201d a European Commission spokeswoman said.<\/p>\n

Australia, Brunei, Japan, and Canada were also previously failing in providing reciprocity for all EU citizens, but all four countries have since lifted, or will soon lift, their restrictions.<\/p>\n

The chief spokesperson of the European Commission, Margaritis Schinas, used the example of Canada while commenting on Friday\u2019s vote.<\/p>\n

“Our approach of continued engagement and patient diplomatic contacts brought tangible results on this issue with Canada,” he said during a news conference.<\/p>\n

He went on to state that the Commission will “continue to work closely with both the European Parliament and the council, and will report on further progress before the end of June.”<\/p>\n
