Cassie2 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) Telegraph is now reporting: EU divided on plan for Covid vaccine passport The European Union has set out its plan for Covid vaccine certificates that could be used by UK holidaymakers this summer. Digital Green Certificates will be accepted as "proof" that a person has had a Covid-19 jab, received a negative test result or recovered from the virus, according to the European Commission's proposal. They will "facilitate safe and free movement" within the EU but could also be obtained by non-EU nationals in countries from where travel to the bloc is permitted. The plan will be discussed next week during a summit of EU leaders. However, vaccine passports are proving another contentious issue for the bloc, with Spain and Greece among those pushing for this boost to their tourist-dependent economies, while France has warned it could discriminate against the majority of people who have not been offered a vaccine.

I assume those hygiene protocols would then be dictated by IOMSPC in agreement with the government. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that for those onboard the ISS to read? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus as your post, is that the up to date instruction or could it have been superceded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would need to see the certificate of exemption given to the workers. This is nothing more than a memo to harbour workers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t understand it, if it was legit. What’s the point on an enquiry if the answer is they were told they didn’t have to isolate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure the ‘independent’ enquiry will get to the bottom of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed the colour change to black no problem but changing the font size led to huge gaps between paragraphs. Sorry about that but I did do all I could short of re-typing it. Not sure why form matters to you more than substance but each to his own...........................😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b4mbi Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Read the notice carefully. It says the provision exists to exempt , not that they are exempt automatically. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure the ‘independent’ enquiry will get to the bottom of it. Yes but you have to remember that the law applies to the individual and not to the SPCo or the director of public health. Workers will have been given an entry certificate which would exempt them from parts of the regulation. The key point is what these exemptions were. The infamous welders had the same entry certificate. They were too thick to understand the significance of it. They ended up in prison. It wasn't their bosses fault. It was their fault. Well in the eyes of the law it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
