New Covid passport rules will override member states’ own laws
Montage © Facts4EU.Org 2021
Minimum of two vaccines and the ‘booster’ to be required for movement between ‘countries’ – and Member States cannot disallow entry
The EU Commission has announced that from 1st February 2022 anyone travelling between member states or entering the EU will be required to have a Covid Passport for both of the first two vaccines and the booster too.
Any EU citizen with a passport for both vaccines that does not include the booster will find it has expired – thus limiting their ability to travel within the EU to other member states from where they are at that time.
It will not be enough to have had only the vaccines and there will be no dispensation possible by showing a negative PCR or Lateral Flow test instead of the correct paperwork. It is the Vaccine Passport and nothing else.
Valid Vacine Passports will be time-limited to last exactly 270 days (essentially nine months) from the last dose, meaning that even valid vaccines or boosters will eventually need to be supplemented to stay active.
The EU27 ‘countries’ will be powerless in the face of Brussels’ rules
The new rules go further than before for they also prevent member states from making rules that are more or less onerous than the EU Commission’s. An individual member state will not be able to offer any relaxations for entry but also will not be able to deny entry to anyone who meets the EU’s own required standards.
In typical fashion the EU claims its Vaccine Passport is an unrivalled success without acknowledging that it creates a two tier authoritarian society – you either have the vaccine passport or you don’t – and it conveniently elevates the ‘booster’ to the same status as the vaccine.
Observations
If anyone had any doubts about the direction of travel of the EU project towards a single centralised and homogenised superstate under the – now authoritarian – command of unelected technocrats, then the latest announcement on the proof of paperwork required for people moving between ‘countries’ must surely extinguish them.
Our inverted commas used to define the term ‘countries’ are intentional, for in losing the determination of not just who can’t, but also who CAN enter a jurisdiction, the member states are fast becoming unrecognisable as countries.
In regard to the relationship of the UK to the EU, it is for each to make its own rules but there is a complicating factor. To what extent will the new laws to be imposed by the EU impact on the Common Travel Agreement that exists between the UK and the Republic of Ireland?
Will there be a need for a physical border in the island of Ireland to identify if the many thousands of British citizens who work in the Republic, traversing the border daily – and also the thousands who cross the border in the other direction by leaving the Republic and effectively leaving the EU – but then re-enter it when coming home have the correct papers? Will those entering the EU by entering the Republic from the UK have to show they have Covid passports and the Booster? And if not, is the restriction not a complete joke?
If it is acceptable for people to travel between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland without having to show papers proving they have met the EU’s latest imposition on Covid passports, why is it necessary for all the paperwork for animals to travel between Great Britain and Northern Ireland – including guide dogs?
We have not heard the last of these new restrictions causing problems. Another Brexit bonus for the UK being outside the accelerating, centralised EU superstate.
We shall probably revisit this issue once further clarification is available.
