Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis expressed his satisfaction on Tuesday evening after the end of an EU Summit Meeting in Brussels over the prospect that a European "vax certificate" will be implemented as soon as possible.

Athens wants to facilitate the free travel of people that have been vaccinated for the Covid-19 virus, can show very recent and reliable tests with a negative result, or who have heightened anti-bodies, in order to ensure that the country's all-important tourism industry is revived.

He also expressed satisfaction with the rate of vaccinations taking place in Greece.

Asked by a reporter over the sensitive issue of possible vaccinations for pre-pubescent teens, Mitsotakis merely said that "we will discuss this for children in junior high school and above; this will provide a new dynamic to the vaccination (campaign)."
