Local leaders offer to support vaccine rollout and demand new measures by summer, to protect regional economies

EU local and regional governments have warned of the catastrophic impact not opening borders by the summer would have on regional economies. During a debate with the European Commissioner for Health and Food Safety, Stella Kyriakides , members of the European Committee of the Regions (CoR) said that the EU and its member states have made efforts to roll out vaccines, avoiding a national vaccine war, but the absence of a clear legal EU framework had led to errors that must be avoided in the future. They offered support to tackle mistrust of vaccines, to speed up the administering of vaccines, adding that vaccine certificates are a step in the right direction but should not be considered a “silver bullet”.
