Summary: Regulation (EU) 2022/1034 - formally signed by the co-legislators on 29 June 2022 - introducing amendments to Regulation (EU) 2021/953 concerning a framework for the issuance, verification and acceptance of interoperable COVID-19 vaccination, test and recovery certificates (EU Digital COVID Certificate) to facilitate free movement during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a text with EEA relevance. Further information: Regulation (EU) 2021/953 established a common framework for an EU Digital COVID Certificate covering vaccination, testing and recovery in the context of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.
