Representatives of Member states agreed on technical details for Green Cert

On Thursday, 22nd April, 2021 the representatives of the member states  agreed upon basic principles for the essential technical specifications of the Digital Green Certificate in the frame of the eHealth Network. .The so called Green Passport is a proof that a person  has been vaccinated against Covid-19 virus ; has  received a negative test result or has recovered from Covid-19.

The certificate should enable safe and free movement during the pandemic . It is expected to be introduced in the member states  by June; in Austria however already by May this year.

The Member countries are asked  – parallel to the process, which is running on the  EU- level- to introduce also  on the state level  all  the  necessary measures, which would lead to an early implementation of the Covid Passport.
