Travelling with the Digital Green Certificate

The aim is to facilitate travel to each European country: there will no longer be any need to present negative PCR tests as they will be automatically grouped on the certificate, as will the 14-week periods.

Which countries are favourable to the introduction of the green certificate?

First of all, let us mention the countries that live mainly on tourism and for which free movement is vital: Spain (like the Canary Islands), Greece, Italy, Malta and Portugal. These are the first countries to support a health passport that would influence proof of recovery from Covid-19.

Countries that oppose the green certificate or slow down its deployment:

This is the case of France, Germany and the Netherlands, which were against the introduction of such a passport. However, in recent weeks they have been studying applications for the green certificate, particularly since vaccination has become more accessible.

Others alternatives to the digital health pass :

Major players in the tourism industry are not waiting for an EU agreement to allow better tracking of travellers. This is the case, for example, of IATA (the association of air carriers), which has launched the Travel pass application.
The Travel Pass centralises health information to support the recovery of the airline industry.
At the time of writing, two countries accept it: Singapore and Panama.

Airlines are each launching their own applications or systems to simplify collection and speed up boarding.

It is understandable that there should be a single standardised digital vaccination certificate from the EU to facilitate and streamline controls between each country.
It is this tool that will allow free movement in the European Union, especially as the vaccination strategy is growing.
