Made to be used across borders, not at borders.
Every European country has its own system and norms, and instead of creating a centralized database (which would be bad for privacy) they want to standardize the entries in vaccination cards so they can be used in every country. Note that they start with a feasibility study for 3 years, then a proposal in 2022, and maybe the system will be ready in 2030, with long transition periods in the individual countries.
This is typical Euro-bureaucracy work, every country has its own system and standards and nothing fits, and they spend a lifetime to make it work together.
I understand there is plausible-deniability, but they are talking about combining vaccine records with passports. I don't travel much, so maybe vaccine records are required in the EU for travel, but as an american it seems a bit of an overstep.
