Over the past months, Europe has redoubled its solidarity efforts.
On 16 September, in the course of the State of the Union address, we’ll take stock of our achievements while looking at the EU’s future.
Stay tuned for #SOTEU with President @vonderleyen: https://t.co/L4E6NYytkR
Children need to physically be with both parents.
It doesnt matter if one of their parents is from another country or if their parents arent married.
Lift the travelban for unmarried, binational families and couples.

My daughter crying this morning after getting off the phone with Daddy because she just wants him here
Me: ‘Do you miss him?’ She nods. Me: ‘me too’ #prioritizefamilysponsorship
@ClothesByCloots@GabrielaPontua1 I read in the FBgroup you can also leave Europe but you have to ask permission to the Belgian Border police. And you have to meet the same requirements as people coming to Belgium. So i.c. a birthcertificate and ofcourse health insurance.
Being separated from loved ones has consequences.
Children being separated for months from one of their parents will have consequences.
I've been missing my partner and my son's been missing his dad for over 5 months now.
#LoveIsNotTourism#LoveIsEssential
It is the first time we have been separated for so long and it has been devastating: anxiety, depression, insomnia, hopelessness. Our child is increasingly irritable, sad, frustrated, and is prone to emotional outbursts. It is about mental health #prioritizefamilysponsorship
The only real and reasonable solution to reunite binational couples and families so far was offered by Danemark.
All other EU memberstates have failed.
We need a European solution.
#LoveIsEssential#LoveIsNotTourism@vonderleyen@Sophie_Wilmes
@senateurJGM@HConwayMouret@AGenetet@JBLemoyne bon ben il y a plus qu'a revenir à la solution danoise quoi ... visa tourisme + déclaration sur l'honneur qu'on est en couple ... et basta ... Comme le CIC c'est compliqué .. Non ? en quelques jours on en parle plus !
Lift the travelban!
Keeping borders closed is not a solution.
An effective solution is proper hygiene, masks, testing, quarantining and eventually a vaccine.
Stop putting our lives on hold.
My son needs his dad, I need my partner.
#LoveIsNotTourism#LoveIsEssential
We are asking for reasonable regulations so binational couples and families can reunite.
We are asking the EU to work as a team and to allow partners to enter Europe through any of the EU memberstates.
@vonderleyen@Sophie_Wilmes#LoveIsNotTourism#LoveIsEssential
As money moves the world, IATA will probably be taken more seriously than binational couples/families will ever be.
Please lift travelrestrictions for binational families and couples who have been separated for months now.
#LoveIsNotTourism#LoveIsEssential
Binational couples and families separated by the European border closures need some good news soon.
Lift the travel ban for couples and families.
Put in place reasonable travel conditions.
We are NO tourists.
#LoveIsNotTourism#LoveIsEssential@Sophie_Wilmes
Please @vonderleyen bring the topic 'binational couples and families separated because of the European travelban' back to discussion.
This topic is far from resolved.
There should be ONE European solution.
@Sophie_Wilmes@BelgiumMFA @
Glad to see my team of commissioners back and getting ready for the intense months ahead.
We are discussing fresh ideas for:
◾️Protecting citizens and our economies in #COVID19 times
◾️Leading the green and digital transitions
◾️Making Europe stronger in the 🌎
Europe you need to do better! Mental health matters. Love matters. Support from loved ones during corona times matters. Allow ALL unmarried, binational couples to reunite. Difficult times ask for difficult decisions. @Sophie_Wilmes@vonderleyen#LoveIsNotTourism#LoveIsEssential
My 2 year old wants to be with his dad. Belgium, you promised a solution by Sept. 1, please let it be a solution for all binational, unmarried couples. Don't discriminate based on an outdated definition of what a partnership is. #DoItLikeDenmark#LoveIsNotTourism#LoveIsEssential
why would reuniting unmarried binational couples and families impact Belgian public health negatively? We are very motivated to respect all anti covid measures. This travelban makes no sense if rules are not even being respected within Belgium #LoveIsEssential#LoveIsNotTourism
Onder de hashtags #LoveIsEssential en #LoveIsNotTourism willen koppels aandacht vragen voor langeafstandrelaties over de grenzen heen. Wij pleiten voor een duidelijk kader om reizen voor liefde mogelijk te maken. 🧡
