The company must honour the contract it has with member states”, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has said on Thursday evening.
I think it's clear that the company must first reach the step. He must respect the contract he has with EU member states before he can make further vaccine export commitments. We want to explain to our European citizens that they can get the share of vaccines that they belong to”, she said at a media conference.
She has spoken after EU leaders held a summit to discuss supply of vaccines.
Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron has told reporters that this marked the “end of gullibility” from the EU.
The distribution of vaccines in EU states has begun slowly, and the bloc has largely blamed pharmaceutical companies AstraZeneca ) for failing to deliver the promised doses.
AstraZeneca has denied failing to implement her contract.
