Alexandru Rafila, who received a positive opinion from parliament's select committees for the position of Health minister, said on Wednesday that the green certificate is an instrument that saves lives, but it must be introduced at the right time, agerpres reports.
Rafila noted that lawmakers are not trying to postpone the debate on the bill on the introduction of the green certificate.
"By law, we can establish a framework and the entry into force of the certificate can be done at any time it is needed. We are not talking about a postponement, as they said, that we are postponing it for January. We can talk about a new piece of legislation, I think it should be a new piece of legislation, and then we can go with a predictable mechanism, the world knows what it is about, it is announced in advance if there are prolonged increases in transmission [of the virus - ed.n.]," doctor Rafila explained.
