The European Commission is preparing to
launch legal proceedings against vaccine
maker AstraZeneca (AZN.L), Politico reported
late Wednesday, citing five unnamed European
Union diplomats.
At a meeting of ambassadors on Wednesday,
majority of the EU countries said they would
support suing the company over complaints it
failed to deliver pledged doses to the bloc, the
report added.
The point for the legal proceedings is to make
it mandatory for AstraZeneca to provide the
doses set out in its EU contract, the report
stated, citing one unnamed diplomat.
