2020 was a year to remember.

In the face of the unfolding human tragedy, Europe stepped up in the greatest collective mobilisation in the history of our Union.

See some examples of the initiatives taking place throughout 2020 in our Annual Report #StrongerTogether thread ↓
The climate crisis remained the defining challenge of our times.

With the #EUGreenDeal, we committed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and become the first climate-neutral continent, by 2050. #StrongerTogether
The pandemic has shown the need to step up EU coordination before, during and after a health crisis.

In 2020, we proposed to build a European #HealthUnion with a Pharmaceutical Strategy for Europe, to make sure that patients have access to affordable medicines. #StrongerTogether

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.
To have digital green certificates in place by summer, we will work closely with EU countries to:

βœ… Identify technical solutions that can be deployed rapidly
πŸ” Ensure that the authenticity of certificates can be checked securely throughout the EU
πŸ” Enable mutual recognition
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.
