7. The European Council welcomes the coordination of efforts at EU level so far and commits to strengthening this coordination, in particular in preparing for a gradual lifting of restrictions and a return to normal travel, including for cross-border tourism, when the sanitary situation allows. It agrees on the need to enhance the sharing of experiences and of plans for the future. Building on the work done over the past weeks, it invites the Commission to present a proposal for a Council recommendation on a common framework for rapid antigen tests and for the mutual recognition of test results. A coordinated approach to vaccination certificates should also be developed.
