Anti-Covid vaccines: why the EU hides parts of the contract with AstraZeneca

DECRYPTION - After the German CureVac, the British AstraZeneca has accepted that Brussels makes public its contract for the production of an anti-Covid vaccine. But many passages have been blackened.


After the CureVac laboratory in mid-January, the AstraZeneca group accepted that the European Commission makes public the negotiation contract on vaccines against Covid-19.

The British have been under pressure for a few days due to major delays in deliveries.

In this context, the European executive insisted on the group's publication of this contract signed in August, bringing up to 400 million doses.

“We welcome the company's commitment to increased transparency to strengthen the confidence of European citizens,”

commented a Commission spokesperson.

MEPs, for their part, are far from being convinced, since entire parts of the document remain strictly confidential.

This was already the case when the contract with CureVac was published.

Unveiled this Friday on the Commission site, the contract of around forty pages has been blackened here and there, when they are not entire pages.
