"Covid free" passport will be launched on June 1st

The arrival of the "Covid-free" passport was scheduled for June 15th, but the European Union announced that its release will be brought forward. for the 1st of the same month. 

O Green pass will allow you to move more freely within the EU.

Thierry Breton, EU Commissioner for the Internal Market, highlighted that “we are rapidly advancing the technical and legislative profile” to the point where member states “are starting to edit and implement it” to achieve “in July” full operation, he said at a press conference.

Furthermore, the Commission is finalizing the portal that will allow the certificate to function.

All with the aim of acting in time for the reopening of borders and for the summer, in order to relaunch the tourist season. 

And precisely on April 14, the Committee of Permanent Representatives to the European Union, Coreper, reached an agreement on the certificate standards.

Os Green Pass terms, the “covid free” passport, are the same announced a month ago: you must be vaccinated with a serum recognized by the EMA, European Medicines Agency, or present a negative test, or prove that you are cured of the virus.

However, it should be noted that possessing the Green Passport is not a precondition for the exercise of free movement rights

In fact, the declaration highlights “the principle of non-discrimination, in particular towards unvaccinated people”.

This means that it will be up to Member States to decide how to use this certification. 

Measure to save the summer

An instrument, therefore, that will serve above all to save the Member States' summer who make tourism their flagship. 

Just think of Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italy itself, nations that want to reach an agreement on this system as soon as possible

All with the aim of allowing potential tourists to book their holidays safely.

Brussels, however, will allow different governments to move forward with national regulations until the system becomes a reality. 

In short, each country will have the right to develop its own rules and digital passes, even if it is not yet clear how and whether different systems and regulations will be able to integrate.

There are still many problems to be resolved, but the “Covid free” passport is increasingly a reality.
