India toughens stand on EU COVID passport
The Hindu
Reciprocal restrictions will be applied on EU countries barring Indian entry, say sources
India took issue with the European Union’s plans to institute a “green pass” from July 1, with government sources warning that India will introduce a “reciprocal policy” only allowing ease of travel for those European countries that recognise Indian vaccines Covishield and Covaxin. The latest twist to the controversy of the European Union’s Digital Covid Certificate came a day after met with his EU counterpart High Representative Josep Borrell Fontelles. In a tweet after the meeting, Mr. Jaishankar indicated that he raised the issue of possible restrictions on Indian travellers in the EU if they don’t have one of four vaccines approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), that include the Europe made Astra Zeneca vaccine but not the Indian made Serum Institute of India’s (SII) Covishield or Bharat Biotech’s Covaxin.More Related News
