The Chancellor stressed that, for the moment, the spread of new highly infectious mutations in the virus has been the focus of attention of the Member States. The epidemic situation is particularly serious in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, “but Hungary has also reported a difficult situation with a third wave,” he added.
At the same time, all member states agreed on the need for a digital vaccination certificate
Angela Merkel added.
Charles Michel, President of the European Council, previously said that discussions were still ongoing:
As you said, EU members will introduce innovation independently at national level, but member state cards through an EU-wide solution, they will be valid throughout the EU. This will allow the digital vaccination card to travel more freely within the community, and the new solution could also be the basis for people from outside the EU to enter the EU.
He stressed that the implementation of the new institution does not mean at all that only those who have a digital vaccination certificate can travel. “There is still no political decision” on this issue.
He explained that due to the low vaccination rate, all this “is not yet an issue, but you have to be prepared.” Development could take three months, Angela Merkel explained.
