The EU Commission has recommended that EU countries not introduce any additional travel restrictions for vaccinated, convalescent or newly tested people.
Brussels – Anyone who has a valid EU Corona certificate should “in principle not be subjected to any additional restrictions such as tests or quarantine, regardless of where they leave the EU,” said the Brussels authority on Thursday. In addition, the period of validity of the EU vaccination certificates should be limited. It is proposed that these certificates should be valid for nine months from the complete vaccination before a booster vaccination becomes necessary, according to the Vice President of the EU Commission Vera Jourova.
EU Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders emphasized: “Our main goal is to avoid divergent measures in the EU.” The Commission hopes for uniform rules within the EU. The EU countries should now take all the necessary measures “immediately” so that all people who need it for a valid certificate can get a booster vaccination.
The EU countries must now discuss the non-binding proposals and then adopt a joint position on them. Especially at the beginning of the corona pandemic in Europe, there were many different rules with traffic jams that could be kilometers long due to border closings and the corresponding negative economic effects.
