Speaking in a parliamentary webinar on the new Digital Green Certificate, the Renew Europe deputy said France was among a small number of EU countries not charging for a test.
She singled out Finland for particular criticism, saying that Finnish people were being charged around €240 for a test. She said, “The commercial rates are going through the roof and this means that, for many people, a test is simply unaffordable and therefore out of reach.”
