The Authority recalls “the need to clearly identify, when converting the decree into law, the cases in which the interested party may be asked to exhibit the green certification to access places or premises”. “Precisely the current indeterminacy of the circumstances in which the display of the green pass is required has favored the adoption, by some Regions and Autonomous Provinces, of ordinances that have imposed its use also for purposes other than those provided for in the reopening decree and towards of which the Guarantor has already intervened “, he says.

Furthermore, the standard must provide that certifications can be issued and issued only through the national platform. Dgc and verified exclusively through the VerificationC19 App. This app is in fact the only tool able to guarantee the validity of the validity of the green certification, in compliance with the principles of protection of personal data, also guaranteeing that the verifiers can only know the general information of the interested party, without viewing the other information present in the certification (recovery, vaccination, negative result of the swab) “.
