The European Commission has filed a lawsuit against the pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca for failing to fulfill its commitment to deliver the contracted doses of its COVID-19 vaccine to the Member States.
"The European Commission began legal action against
AstraZeneca on Friday on the basis of breaches of the advance purchase
agreement," the spokesperson for the Community Executive's Health, Stefan
de Keersmaecker, announced at a press conference.
"Some terms of the contract have not been respected and
the company has not provided a reliable strategy to guarantee an opportune
distribution of the doses," said the spokesman, who specified that
Brussels has acted both "in its own name" and "in name of the 27
Member States ", which" are fully in line "with this decision.
