Traveling with the Green Pass should be made easier within the European Union. Now the EU Commission is rushing forward and recommends that tourist entries from third countries should also be made possible. The complete vaccination should have to be proven.

There should be a special feature for children who cannot yet be vaccinated. If they are traveling with their vaccinated parents, the minors should have to present a negative PCR test. There is one major restriction, however, because the envisaged regulation should only come into effect if the country of origin has a “good incidence”. Otherwise, access should be denied.

So far it has only been a recommendation by the EU Commission. The actual implementation is the responsibility of the member states. They are free to decide whether or not to allow third-country nationals or their own citizens to make their return journey easier. The aim is to find a uniform regulation, but in the past the decisions of the EU ambassadors brought very little, because the nation states continued to cook their own soup.
