Finland is considering streamlining its work travel entry regulations as regards European Union states, public broadcaster YLE reports, with a solution expected next week.
Travel restrictions are being lifted, YLE reports (link in Finnish), with priority given to work travel within the Schengen Zone, which would include Estonia.
Under the current regime, valid to June 27, Finland only permits quarantine-free entry from two Schengen Area states, namely Iceland, population less than 360,000, and Malta, population a little over half-a-million, though entry via air travel is permitted.
Estonia s leaders have continued to apply pressure on Finland on the issue this week, given the large numbers of Estonian citizens and residents who commute between the two countries but, since this commuting is almost entirely seaborne, cannot do so.
