The European Union will make pharmaceutical companies respect contracts they have signed for the supply of Covid-19 vaccines, according to European Council President Charles Michel.

Last week Pfizer said it was temporarily slowing supplies to Europe to make manufacturing changes that would boost output.

"We plan to make the pharmaceutical companies respect the contracts they have signed ... by using the legal means at our disposal," Mr Michel said on Europe 1 radio. He said that after Pfizer's first warnings about delays of several weeks, the EU had managed to reduce these delays by taking a tough stance.

A senior health official has said Italy will have to rethink its whole vaccination programme if supply problems persist, after the country was forced to cut its daily roll-out of Covid-19 shots by more than two thirds.

To quote Charlie Sheen ‘I already got your money, dude’

This to give hope to the sheeple Calling bullshit on the hole lot.

Good luck with that 😂

LeoVaradker simoncoveney Did you ever hear so much gobshitery in your life ?.Hundreds of thousands dead across the EU, hospitals overwhelmed, populations ' serving time' under virtual house arrest and the EU are very cross about contracts .

Only the UK has the critical vaccine development and manufacturing capacity in Europe...Perhaps Ireland should have done a deal with them in addition to depending on the EU for all the supplies....

Covid proved one main issue . Critical manufacturing has to be taken back to the EU . We were caught with our pants around our ankles.

Tedros and covax getting in the way ?

The EU will make sure that pharmaceutical companies will stick to their legal obligations outlined in a legal contract they signed.

Good!
