(Alliance News) - The EU angrily warned drugs firm AstraZeneca PLC on Monday that delays to agreed deliveries of the coronavirus vaccine are unacceptable and proposed a mechanism to shine light on exports from the bloc.
"The EU wants to know exactly which doses have been produced and where by AstraZeneca so far, and if or to whom they have been delivered," Health Commissioner Stella Kyriakides said.
AstraZeneca has warned production delays will mean it will not be able to meet promised targets on shipping to the EU, but Kyriakides said "this new schedule is not acceptable to the EU."
Astra shares closed 1.4% higher at 7,883.81 pence each in London on Monday.
