The EU Commission is now addressing the question of who is actually responsible for checking evidence from the “Green Pass” program. The problem with the matter is as follows: In some countries nobody feels responsible, in others one shifts to airports and airlines and on top of that controls with one's own authorities.

Some airlines require their passengers to present their “Corona documents” at the check-in desk for document control before departure. Some countries, including Germany, actually require that the documents be viewed before departure. Others, however, do not, which does not prevent some airlines from “anticipatory obedience”.

But who is actually really responsible for checking the corona documents? Basically, these are authorities, but under certain circumstances they can assign this task directly or indirectly to the transport company. This is exactly what happens in some states, but not in others. The bottom line is that an unpredictable growth has emerged and some governments apparently no longer see through who controls what.

The EU Commission criticized the unclear responsibilities and urged on Thursday that all actors should coordinate with each other who controls what, when and where. According to the Commission, there are currently no less than 27 different approaches to viewing corona documents within the 15 EU countries. It is not uncommon for travelers to have to pull out their documents several times before and after the flight.
