Jean-Yves Le Drian announces a quatorzaine voluntary for the French returning from abroad

"from tomorrow, all the people who come from a country outside the european Union will be able to request a quatorzaine on the basis of volunteerism." The minister of foreign Affairs Jean-Yves Le Drian, as a guest of LCI this morning, spoke about the many comebacks of French nationals abroad, but also on a possible re-opening to tourists of the internal borders of the european or on the agreement of mutualization of european debt of 500 billion euros, concluded between Emmanuel Macron and Angela Merkel on Monday afternoon.

To a reopening of the border

"French nationals visiting have been 186.000 to be repatriated since the beginning of the epidemic, was first explained Jean-Yves Le Drian. We had to charter flights and sometimes have to reopen airports in more than 140 countries, and we arrive now at the end of this movement." Regarding the intra-eu border, now closed, he explained that "(France) was to be able to progressively call into question some of the measures of closure" and "lead to a relaxation generalized from June 15". Therefore, it has also announced a quatorzaine "voluntary" to all French nationals outside the european Union who return in the country, starting tomorrow.

Asked later on the creation of the european recovery plan of 500 billion euros, announced by Emmanuel Macron and Angela Merkel last Monday, Jean-Yves Le Drian has first described this agreement as "significant".

"Europe has put a bit of time to respond to the pandemic, he continued. First of all, because the health issues are not part of the competences of the EU but also because at the beginning, we had not realised the scale of the pandemic. So it has been delayed to the ignition. But Europe is well caught, especially with the stability pact, aid to businesses and to states, and the € 750 billion of asset purchases of the ECB. Yesterday's announcement is a shock, no one could have imagined that France and Germany can come to an agreement to raise a common debt and help the countries most affected economically by the pandemic. The collective interest of the european Union, it is that the most affected countries, leave quickly."

public transit

The minister is then income on the statements of the chairman of Sanofi, which had planned to give the premiere of a future vaccine in the United States, before changing your mind. "The search (for the vaccine) has no meaning if it is recognized as a public good common in the world. If we let this fall in the competition market, we don't come out. First of all, it is a moral issue, but also a question of efficiency because everyone should have the vaccine to stop the epidemic, not just the richest. The pooling of patents and the mass production will be the issues of tomorrow."

In the video, the Minister talks of the French, who are returning from countries "outside Europe", not outside the EU. View of Paris perhaps it is the same thing but when it is cross-border and working in Switzerland, it is different. Thank you to the journalists to have a minimum of rigor in their papers.
