15/09/2021 (Agence Europe) – On Wednesday 15 September, the European Commission adopted seven new decisions recognising the equivalence of digital Covid-19 certificates from third countries, namely those issued by Morocco, Albania, Andorra, the Faroe Islands, Israel, Monaco and Panama, it announced in a press release. Equivalent to the EU digital Covid-19 certificate, these third country documents will therefore be valid for travel in the EU and will have the same value as certificates held by EU nationals. At the same time, these countries and territories have also agreed to accept the EU digital Covid-19 certificate on their territory. Since June, more than 420 million European certificates have been issued, the Commission said. 42 countries - 27 Member States and 15 third countries - now participate in the EU’s Covid-19 digital certificate system.
