0:53Now PlayingThe European Union filed a lawsuit against AstraZeneca Plc, raising the stakes in the spat between the drugmaker and the bloc’s 27 governments over vaccine deliveries.
The company failed to come up with a “reliable strategy” to ensure timely delivery of vaccine doses, European Commission spokesman Stefan De Keersmaecker told reporters in Brussels. “We want to make sure that there’s a speedy delivery of a sufficient number of doses the European citizens are entitled to and which have been promised on the basis of this contract.”
The main objective of the legal action is to obtain the contracted number of doses, according to an EU official. The case was filed by the commission on its own behalf and on behalf of all 27 EU member states at the Brussels court, and a judgment could potentially be issued within 3-7 weeks from the filing of the claim, the official said.
