In the statement shared by the RDIF, Reynders said the commission is taking "active measures" to ensure certificates issued in countries from outside the European Union.

Back in June, the RDIF stated it expects the bloc's European Medicines Agency (EMA) to approve the use of Sputnik V in its territory in the next two months. San Marino did so in February.
