LONDON, April 26 (Reuters) - AstraZeneca on Monday
said that legal action by the European Union against the
pharmaceutical company over the supply of its COVID-19 vaccine
was without merit and pledged to defend itself strongly in
court.
"AstraZeneca has fully complied with the Advance Purchase
Agreement with the European Commission and will strongly defend
itself in court. We believe any litigation is without merit and
we welcome this opportunity to resolve this dispute as soon as
possible," AstraZeneca said in a statement.
