Do you know if there is there any good reason why France & Ireland are exempt from the quarantine requirements?

The EU are now saying that this should include every country in the EU and are threatening a legal challenge! Seems ridiculous as we only have 7 months to go:

I suspect this is a political issue. I mean you can make arguments that there is no reason to exclude places that have the same level of infection and the same preventative measures. I don't understand enough to say one way or another.

Also I don't want to give the impression everything the government says is right and everything the scientists say is sacrosanct. There's already been blatant lies and manipulation from some sectors. It's not clear to me there is an overwhelmingly optimal strategy so there will be political disagreement.
