The European Union is suing pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca for COVID-19 vaccine delivery shortfalls, marking an escalation in a dispute that has simmered for some time.
EU spokesperson Stefan De Keersmaecker told The Epoch Times in an emailed statement that the lawsuit was filed in a Brussels court on April 23 “due to the continuous breach of the terms of the contract and to the lack of a reliable strategy by the company to ensure the timely supply of vaccines in the current circumstances.”
