EU Prepares for the Lawsuit Against AstraZeneca

The European Commission is preparing to take vaccine maker AstraZeneca to court. That is reported by the news site Politico, which has spoken with five EU diplomats.

 

The EU’s relationship with AstraZeneca has soured because the pharmaceutical company has supplied far fewer corona vaccines than agreed for months.

The determination of the lawsuit would be to force the company to provide the agreed amounts of vaccines, one of the sources told the news site.

The committee raised the possible legal procedure on Wednesday at a meeting of ambassadors. Then there would have been a lot of support for a lawsuit among member states.

Two diplomats say there is a deadline later this week. Then EU countries must let them know whether they really want to take AstraZeneca to court.
