The European Union's second-highest court criticized the European Commission for not providing enough information about its Covid-19 vaccine purchase agreements. This decision could impact the re-election of Ursula von der Leyen as the bloc's top official.
The General Court in Luxembourg found the European Commission at fault for redacting parts of the vaccine purchase agreements, stating that wider access should have been granted without undermining commercial interests.
Critics, including Green members of the European Parliament and private individuals, sued the European Commission to reveal the terms negotiated with vaccine manufacturers, leading to the court's decision for more transparency.
