EU proposes a Covid-19 ccertificate that would make travel easier for European residents.

Wed, 2021-03-17 20:30 — mike kraft

https://www.nytimes.com/live/2021/03/17/world/covid-19-coronavirus#to-save-the-summer-tourist-season-travel-certificates-are-proposed-in-europe

The European Union proposed a Covid-19 certificate on Wednesday that would allow people to travel more freely, a move aimed at saving the summer tourist season for member states that depend on it economically.

The proposed document, known as a Digital Green Certificate, would allow residents of member nations to travel at will within the bloc if they have proof of Covid-19 vaccination, a negative test result or a documented recovery from the coronavirus.

The certificates would be free and would be available in digital or paper format.

“The Digital Green Certificate will not be a precondition to free movement, and it will not discriminate in any way,” said Didier Reynders, the bloc’s top official for justice, adding that the aim was to “gradually restore free movement within the E.U. and avoid fragmentation.”
