Yeah, it probably won't be implemented in France or germany, i think we both have 80 to 85% of the population vaccinated. Its a recomendation, not a law, and most countries don't follow EU recommendations. The reason it was drafted is because it allows small countries who want to ban US travelers without facing retribution "I'm sorry, its a EU recommendation, not our own will no hard feelings, please don't ban our imports". By the way, this is used during PPP decision-making (find some obscure EU laws to veto some private partners decision, like using Azure cloud for AI4EU), and probably used politically, internally or externally to deny demands "No, it is impossible, the EU have a reco/law/designated standard on this" (And in 80% of the cases, this is non-binding). I think this is the real power of the EU, giving politicians the possibility of deflecting blame. Most positive effect of Brexit for the UK is this imho.
