EU again delays decision to impose visas for Canadians, citing progress
OTTAWA — The European Commission has again pushed off a decision on whether to require Canadians to have a visa to enter the EU.
The commission says it’s now looking ahead to the Canada-EU summit this fall to see more progress on the issue of Canada removing visa restrictions on citizens of Romania and Bulgaria.
The EU insists that since Canadians don’t require visas to go to Europe, EU citizens should not need them to come to Canada.
In April, the Commission urged the European Parliament and council to “take a position” on the issue by July 12 — but neither did.
