Brussels to propose Covid certificate to allow EU-wide travel

The certificate would be granted to citizens who had either proof of vaccination, a negative Covid-19 test, or proof of recovery from the virus for those who had contracted it previously.
Tourist reliant countries want their tourists.

Still thinking how to interpret this:
The Commission will build a gateway and support Member States to develop software that authorities can use to verify all certificate signatures across the EU. No personal data of the certificate holders passes through the gateway, or is retained by the verifying Member State.
Versus this:
The certificates will include a limited set of information such as name, date of birth, date of issuance, relevant information about vaccine / test / recovery and a unique identifier of the certificate. This data can be checked only to confirm and verify the authenticity and validity of certificates.
