EU delays decision on border reopening: The EU cannot agree on a list of “safe countries” from where travellers could visit Europe in July, with some member states requiring more time to decide, diplomats said Saturday.
After days of talks, EU envoys on Friday agreed to propose a list of 14 countries to their national governments, with the United States, where the coronavirus is still spreading, to remain excluded. The proposed “safe” list contains just fourteen countries: Algeria, Australia, Canada, Georgia, Japan, Montenegro, Morocco, New Zealand, Rwanda, Serbia, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia and Uruguay.
“There is no visibility on where this will go, but the presidency still hopes to put this matter to a vote on Monday,” the source added. Source: https://news.yahoo.com/eu-delays-decision-border-reopening-215710221.html?
Cleaner Water: Nerja’s sewage treatment plant is to go into testing phase in the first half of July, according to secretary of state for the Environment Hugo Morán.
