U.S. proposals on visa rules raise fears in Europe.
Measures moving through Congress, including a requirement for travelers
in some countries to register travel plans online 48 hours before
departure, have raised fears in Europe of disruptions in the
trans-Atlantic flow of business and leisure travel.
The requirement, proposed by the Homeland Security Department, would
apply to people in 27 mostly West European countries who are now able to
travel to the United States for up to 90 days without visas. It would
also apply to new entrants to the same so-called Visa Waiver Program, a
status sought by 12 countries, many of them eastern and central European
states new to the European Union that have placed enormous stock on
getting in - for business, tourism, family links and plain national
prestige.
