欧洲委员会周一表示,随着欧盟成员国推动更严格的旅行规定,可能会对俄罗斯公民实施进一步的签证限制。
The European Commission said Monday that further restrictions on visas for Russian citizens could be introduced as EU member states push for tighter travel rules.
“我们还采取了措施,使俄罗斯公民获得多次入境签证变得更加困难,接下来的步骤即将出台,”委员会发言人马克思·拉默特在布鲁塞尔的午间简报会上对记者表示。
"We have also taken measures to make it more difficult to have multiple-entry visas for Russian citizens, and the next steps are coming ahead," commission spokesperson Markus Lammert told reporters at a midday briefing in Brussels.
拉默特表示,委员会也在努力落实欧盟部长们关于对参与对乌克兰战争的俄罗斯战斗人员实施入境禁令的决定所采取的措施。
Lammert said the commission was also working to implement measures following a decision by EU ministers to establish an entry ban for Russian combatants involved in the war against Ukraine.
他重申,自2022年2月战争爆发以来,限制向俄罗斯公民发放签证一直是欧盟的优先事项。
He reiterated that restricting visa issuance to Russian citizens had been an EU priority since the war began in February 2022.
这些言论是在欧盟成员国 renewed calls for tougher restrictions on Russian nationals entering the bloc 的背景下发表的。
The remarks came amid renewed calls from EU member states for tougher restrictions on Russian nationals entering the bloc.
6月,11个申根国家向欧洲委员会发送了一封信,敦促就俄罗斯旅游签证采取进一步行动,并在整个集团内采取更协调的方法。
In June, 11 Schengen countries sent a letter to the European Commission urging further action on Russian tourist visas and a more coordinated approach across the bloc.
瑞典发表的一份联合部长声明也呼吁提出新的欧盟提案,以限制对俄罗斯公民的旅游签证。该声明认为,现有规则的不一致应用削弱了该集团的共同方法。
A joint ministerial statement published by Sweden also called for new EU proposals to restrict tourist visas for Russian citizens. The statement argued that inconsistent application of existing rules undermined the bloc's collective approach.
11月,委员会引入了更严格的规定,阻止俄罗斯公民获得多次入境申根签证,要求他们每次前往该集团时都必须申请新签证。
In November, the commission introduced stricter rules preventing Russian nationals from receiving multiple-entry Schengen visas, requiring them to apply for a new visa for each trip to the bloc.
