To facilitate travel within EU
The IT infrastructure for the digital green certificate, will be ready at an EU level, on June 1st.
It will be up to member states to ensure data is available, for the issuing of certificates later in the month.
The documents are aimed at facilitating travel within the European Union.
Last week's agreement on the EU Digital COVID Certificate was a major milestone.
