Next week we will present a proposal for digital green certificates.

This digital proof that a person:
has been vaccinated against COVID-19
or has recovered from COVID-19
or has a negative test result

will facilitate safe free movement of citizens in the EU. Image
To have digital green certificates in place by summer, we will work closely with EU countries to:

✅ Identify technical solutions that can be deployed rapidly
🔍 Ensure that the authenticity of certificates can be checked securely throughout the EU
🔁 Enable mutual recognition Image
Digital green certificates will meet data protection, security and privacy requirements.

They should be set up on the basis of the interoperability guidelines and the common data set for test results, on which EU countries have agreed already. Image

Many humanitarian crises risk being forgotten. But the EU does not forget.

We propose steps to strengthen the EU’s global aid to help meet the rising humanitarian needs worsened by the #COVID19 crisis.

More: europa.eu/!mU68Cu #EUsolidarity Image
The EU’s global responsibility as a humanitarian actor has never been more important.

We propose to:
◾ Expand the EU's resource base
◾ Champion respect for International humanitarian law
◾ Address root causes of crises

#EUsolidarity Image
Europeans support EU humanitarian action.

A new @EurobarometerEU survey shows 9 in 10 Europeans have positive views on EU-funded humanitarian aid activities.

The #coronavirus pandemic represents a major shock for the global and EU economies.
Our collective recovery will depend on continued strong and coordinated responses at EU and national level.
We are #StrongerTogether.

More about the Spring #ECForecasteuropa.eu/!DR48dq
Despite the swift and comprehensive policy response at both EU and national level, the EU economy will experience a recession of historic proportions this year.

The EU economy is forecast to contract by 7½% in 2020 and grow by around 6% in 2021. #ECForecast
The continued effectiveness of EU and national policy measures to respond to the crisis will be crucial to limit the economic damage and facilitate a swift, robust recovery to set the economies on the path of sustainable and inclusive growth. #ECForecast
