INTERVIEW

More and more voices are pushing for the establishment of a "health passport" in order to be able to travel throughout the world.

Tuesday morning on Europe 1, the president of Aéroports de Paris Augustin de Romanet estimated that "documents of this type will be put in place in the world".

Jean-Pierre Mas, the president of travel companies, followed suit on the program

La France Bouge. 

"We are fighting for a health passport. We are not asking for a vaccination passport, which would mean that you have to prove that you are vaccinated to travel", he pleaded on our antenna.

"A single document with vaccine and test data"

Concretely, Jean-Pierre Mas is pushing for a single document which would bring together all the information of the traveler on his tests and vaccination against the coronavirus.

"Each country has different constraints: PCR tests, antigenic or not, vaccines ... We ask that we can have a single document, [digital] and readable thanks to a QR code, with all the vaccine and test data", specifies the president of the travel companies.

"And depending on the criteria of each country - because there will be no harmonization at the global level, we must not dream - we will present this [digital] passport."

"Countries will demand vaccination"

"There are countries which will require vaccination. It is also possible that the Chinese or Russian vaccine will not be accepted everywhere," continued Jean-Pierre Mas.

According to him, "the travel experience will be more complicated. It will be necessary to arrive earlier at the airports and also to wait at the arrival for the control of the PCR tests and possibly the vaccination".
