The summer holidays are just around the corner, and some of them have even begun – and there is a lot of confusion about the entry rules in Europe. Now relief is finally in sight: this week, traveling within Europe should become much easier.
The European Union wants to recognize the Swiss Covid certificate in the next few days, like the «Aargau Newspaper»Reported. That of the EU will from then on also be valid in Switzerland.
Switzerland has been issuing Covid certificates since the beginning of June. Fully vaccinated people receive one, recovered as well as tested people. The EU certificate works on the same principle. The two variants were compatible, technical tests worked – but the EU has not yet given the green light.
Recognized by Friday at the latest
Last week, the EU announced that it would recognize the Swiss Covid certificate at the beginning of the month. The EU Commission has now proposed recognition. On Thursday the EU member states still have to give their formal approval. As soon as the recognition comes into force, according to the “Aargauer Zeitung” by Friday at the latest, the governments only have to exchange the technical keys.
The EU Commission did not want to officially confirm the step. Opposite Blick, she referred to a statement from last week, according to which the recognition was “in progress”. (hah)
