The Union&#8217;s executive committee presented the &#8216;green certificates&#8217; proposal this week which would allow <strong>free movement within the block for EU citizens &#8211; whether they&#8217;re vaccinated or not<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>But the <strong>green certificates policy has been a divisive issue<\/strong> on the continent since the first talk of <a title=\"Are COVID-19 Vaccine Passports Around the Corner?\" href=\"https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/2021\/01\/vaccine-passports\/\" target=\"_blank\">vaccine passports<\/a> circulated last year.

With many EU citizens not yet having access to vaccinations, French ministers are suggesting that only allowing travel certification\u00a0to those who have been inoculated would lead to frustrations between citizens.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.france24.com\/en\/europe\/20210317-eu-proposes-plan-for-covid-19-travel-certificates\" target=\"_blank\">France 24<\/a> have published figures from the\u00a0<span style=\"color: #000000;\">European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control which suggests <strong>less than 5% of European citizens have been fully vaccinated<\/strong> amid delays in deliveries and production of vaccines.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_are_Green_Certificates_different_to_vaccine_passports\"><\/span>How are Green Certificates different to vaccine passports?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>At a meeting next week EU leaders are expected to give green certificates the *ahem* green light, as a way to satiate both sides of the argument.<\/p>\n<p>These new digital certificates would be available for presentation on smartphones or in paper form and <strong>granted to travellers on the proviso<\/strong> they&#8217;ve taken the vaccine, returned a negative COVID-19 test result, or provided proof that they&#8217;ve recovered from the virus.
