Vaccination certificates must be entered in the EU for a maximum period of 12 months, European Parliament (EP) reported.

On Thursday, the European Parliament adopted its negotiating position on the proposal to issue a certificate confirming the right to free movement in Europe during a pandemic. 

MEPs agreed that the new EU COVID-19 certificate - instead of the digital green certificate proposed by the European Commission - should be valid for 12 months, and not longer, the document says.
