BRUSSELS, March 25 (Reuters) - Dutch Prime Minister Mark
Rutte expressed optimism on Thursday that Britain and the
European Commission could soon resolve a dispute over
AstraZeneca, which the EU believes is favouring Britain
in supplies of its COVID-19 vaccines.
"I think a landing spot is possible here, in a spirit of
win-win. I am cautiously optimistic that the issue between the
UK and Europe on AstraZeneca can be solved," he told reporters.
"I think that on Saturday or soon after they could come to
an agreement which would be very helpful because we are friends,
the UK and the rest of Europe and we need each other."
