The EU’s second highest judicial body has decided that the EU Commission has not been transparent enough about Covid vaccine deals with pharma giants such as Pfizer and AstraZeneca, and had no legitimate reasons to conceal certain details of contracts with them.

The ruling by the bloc’s General Court covers purchase agreements struck by the EU Commission in 2020 and 2021, at the height of the pandemic, and worth “approximately €2.7 billion” ($2.95 billion), according to the court’s statement published on Wednesday.

In 2021, some MEPs requested access to the documents detailing the terms of the deals to make sure that the public interest was protected and the members of the EU negotiating team had no personal conflict of interest.

Brussels only provided them with partial access to redacted documents and refused to reveal the negotiating team’s members. The Commission argued that was necessary to protect commercial interests and the decision-making process. The MEPs then brought the issue to the court.

i think its too late since the damage has been done

from the comments:

Text messages between her and the Pfizer boss about one of the contracts were one of the points of contention between the Commission and the MEPs earlier. The lawmakers demanded access to them, but Brussels maintained that she had not retained the messages." This should have resulted in criminal charges brought against her which would have allowed the police to access the texts from the mobile account provider. I expect the court could have issued an order for the texts to be handed over which indicates they are not fully committed to finding out the truth.

Oh you mean the cult was manipulative and abusive?


Like getting parents to say "prohibition doesn't work" and "It's a victimless crime" so they raised drug addicts and prostitutes? That kind of manipulative and abusive?
