EU seeks €10m fine in court for AstraZeneca shortfalls
By EUobserver
EU lawyers asked a Brussels court on Wednesday to impose a €10m fine on the British-Swedish pharmaceutical firm AstraZeneca over delays in delivering Covid-19 vaccines, Reuters reported. The EU is also seeking €10 per dose for each day of delay as compensation for breaching contractual obligations. The bloc has demanded 90m doses from AstraZeneca by the end of June. A verdict is expected before the end of June.
