The goal is for companies to decide the amount of vaccine they promised and not seek compensation, Di Mayo told state television. RAI.
This is a European agreement that Pfizer and AstraZeneca do not respect and therefore we will take legal measures. We are working so that our plan for vaccines does not change”, he said, Reuters reported.
Asked why he thinks pharmaceutical companies were forced to declare cuts, Di Mayo said they are activating all channels, so the European Commission is doing everything to ensure that they respect their agreements.
Earlier today, European Council President Charles Michel said the EU would use legal means to ensure that pharmaceutical companies respect agreements to distribute vaccines against COVID-19.
