“The vaccination certificate cannot be a precondition for the exercise of free movement “, is the response of the European Commission to the decision of the Malta to close its borders to those who have not been vaccinated against covid19.
Asked today about the European Commission’s reaction to the Malta decision, the representative of the Commission for Justice, Equality and the Rule of Law, Christian Wiegand, replied:
“Malta has informed the Commission and the Member States of new restrictions that will enter into force on 14 July. We are seeing increasing numbers of coronavirus cases in various Member States as a result of the Delta variant and it is true that Member States may impose restrictions on the protection of public health. However, any measure restricting free movement must be proportionate and non-discriminatory. The vaccination certificate may not be a condition for the exercise of free movement. This is one of the main principles of the European Covid Digital Certificate Regulation. We are concerned that these measures could discriminate against those who have not been fully vaccinated. “We are in contact with Malta, asking for explanations for these measures and we will also raise these issues today at the coordination meeting of the Member States.”
