Top justice officials from the European Union (EU) and the United States discussed Thursday in Brdo, Slovenia, the issue of the US Visa Waiver Program, which the EU hopes will allow all EU citizens to travel to America without a visa as soon as possible.
该报道中的Visa Waiver Program就是“免签证计划”。The Visa Waiver Program (VWP) enables nationals of certain countries to travel to the United States for tourism or business for stays of 90 days or less without obtaining a visa, if certain requirements are met. (免签证计划允许特定国家的居民在达到特定要求的前提下,访美目的为旅游或商务并且停留时间不超过90天时可以免于签证。)
waiver(a formal written statement of relinquishment)指弃权、弃权声明书,
例如:They are persuaded to sign a waiver of claim against the landlord.经劝说,他们签署了放弃向房东索赔的权利。
