European Community to adopt universal passport by 1978
The nine members of the European Community announced a plan to replace national passports with a single European passport by 1978. Citizens of France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, the United Kingdom, and Ireland would travel across EC borders with no internal customs checks. Foreign travelers would face a single entry and exit check. The move requires Germany’s legislation and broader national-law changes on entry, stay, luggage, currency, and car rules. The Rome meeting also advanced direct elections for the European Parliament, with the first vote planned for May or June 1978.
