Senator Krugly spoke for mutual recognition of vaccines within the EAEU

“My point of view is that there is an urgent need for mutual recognition of vaccines within the EAEU,” he said in a comment to RIA Novosti.

According to him, this must be done "without delay."

Speaking about vaccines developed in the EU and other countries, Krugly expressed the opinion that "it would be a good example (for Russia. -

) to recognize a certificate of any vaccination recognized in foreign countries, without the principle of reciprocity."

He noted that this would serve as a good signal for Russian vaccines to be recognized abroad as well.

“Here we are not talking about the use of vaccines on the territory of other states, we are talking about the recognition of the fact of vaccination,” he explained.

The MPs previously proposed issuing QR codes to citizens who were vaccinated with foreign vaccines or had unofficially had coronavirus.

The corresponding proposals were submitted to parliament on November 12.

Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov spoke about the mutual recognition of certificates of vaccination against coronavirus infection COVID-19.

He stated that "the movement in favor ... that, without waiting for the completion of all bureaucratic ... legalistic procedures, to maintain ... the mutual recognition not of vaccines, but of vaccination certificates - it works."

Deputy Head of the Social Committee of the Federation Council Yuri Arkharov during the seventh meeting of the Inter-Parliamentary Commission on Cooperation of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation and the National People's Congress of the PRC spoke about the possibility of mutual recognition of vaccines from COVID-19 with China.
