The proposal is based on the EU's digital Covid certificate, which will come into effect on 1 July and applies to travel within the EU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201d"We propose that member states coordinate how to gradually lift restrictions on free movement," Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders said at a press conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201dRecent weeks have shown a steady downward trend in the spread of infection, which demonstrates the progress of the vaccination campaign in the EU,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On May 20, negotiators from EU countries and the European Parliament agreed on the design of the Covid certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It should include information about vaccination, testing, and recovery from the disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Monday, the Commission proposed that fully vaccinated people with a Covid certificate should be exempt from quarantine or testing 14 days after the last vaccine dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
EU countries can choose to lift entry restrictions after just one dose, said Didier Reynders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
People who have recovered should be exempt from quarantine and testing 180 days after a positive PCR test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Furthermore, PCR tests should be valid for 72 hours and rapid antigen tests for 48 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201dWe urge EU countries to use the Covid certificate in other contexts, such as access to restaurants and events,\u201d said Didier Reynders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Families should be treated as a unit. Children under the age of 6 should be exempt from testing. Minors should be exempt from quarantine if their parents are exempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Commission also proposed simplifying the EU's traffic light system for the spread of infection in different areas of the EU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Travelers from green areas should not be subject to any entry restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Travelers from orange areas may be required to take a test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Travelers from red areas may be forced into quarantine if they have not tested negative before departure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Travelers from dark red areas may be advised to refrain from non-essential travel. Testing and quarantine requirements remain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Commission's proposals are recommendations. EU countries must take a position on the proposal, but ultimately it is up to the countries themselves to decide whether to follow the EU's recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
