Ringkasan cadangan ini

* Seperti ETA yang kita apply untuk melancong ke Australia

* Cadangan Kos sekitar 50 Euros per person. tetapi harga belum ditetapkan lagi

UK citizens may pay 50 euros o enter the Schengen area under proposed the EU Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) framework, according to media reports.

If the ETIAS tariff is set at 50 euros, the system could bring in 2 billion euros annually by 2020 to Europe's budget, the newspaper added.

However, according to sources EurActiv spoke to, the tariff has not been set yet.

* Cadangan akan dibincangkan pada bulan November ini dan hanya terpakai untuk negara-negara yang tidak dikenakan visa ke Schengen Area. Malaysia tidak dikenakan visa.

The European Commission plans to unveil the compulsory system of passenger registration in November, the EurActiv online news outlet reported. The system will only apply to visitors who do not require a visa to enter the border-less Schengen Area, apart from members of the single market, therefore it is possible UK passport holders would be charged post Brexit.

Brussels prepares EU-wide scheme for visa-free travel authorisation

The European Commission is preparing a proposal inspired by France and Germany to introduce a “European ESTA” modelled on a US scheme requiring international travellers who do not need a visa to apply online – and pay a $14 fee – before entering the territory, EurActiv.com can confirm.

A legislative draft will be tabled “in the autumn”, probably in November, EU sources told EurActiv.

Paris and Berlin have been pushing for the scheme, which would introduce a pan-European system for international travellers wishing to enter EU territory.

The proposal comes amid heightened security concerns following deadly terrorist attacks in Paris last November and subsequent bombings in Brussels in March.

French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said the “European ESTA” would apply to “persons not subject to visa requirements before they enter the EU territory”, such as US citizens.

The idea was mentioned as part an initiative to “beef up controls at the external borders of the European Union,” unveiled by the French and German interior ministers on Tuesday (23 August

European ESTA

Cazeneuve said the European system would be modelled on the Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (ESTA) in the United States, an automated system that determines the eligibility of visitors to travel to the country. Similar schemes exist in Canada and Australia.

A European ESTA would be “a way of ensuring you don’t have visa overstayers,” said Natasha Bertaud, spokesperson at the European Commission in charge of home affairs.

The idea was first floated in June when EU Commissioners Dimitris Avramopoulos and Frans Timmermans presented a series of visa liberalisation proposals for Georgia, Ukraine, Kosovo and Turkey, together with an entry/exit system.

It can be traced back to 2011 when consulting firm PWC performed a study for the Commission, presenting a range of policy options on how to put a European ESTA system in place.

“We welcome [the Franco-German proposal] of course,” Bertaud told EurActiv in e-mailed comments. “That’s why we announced in June that we would be making proposals this autumn.”
