Germany To Ease Restrictions On Seasonal Workers
Germany will from next week relax entry restrictions for seasonal workers introduced to slow the spread of the coronavirus, a government source has said.
Chancellor Angela Merkel’s cabinet approved proposals from agriculture minister Julia Kloeckner for seasonal workers from European Union states and Schengen countries to be able to enter Germany again as of 16 June without the restrictions.
Germany had previously stipulated that a maximum of 80,000 seasonal workers could enter the country due to the pandemic, although just under half that quota was used.
As the number of new coronavirus cases falls and Germany continues to ease its lockdown, farmers are keen to ensure they are ready for this year’s harvest.
