The vaccine crisis in the EU continues to give its signals: The
authorities in Brussels intend to tighten control over the export of vaccines to countries with a higher rate of vaccinators, such as Israel and the United Kingdom - and to limit it significantly.
The proposal to update the regulations is awaiting the approval of EU leaders, and they will discuss it at the online summit they will hold today (Wednesday).
According to the Reuters news agency, if the offer is accepted, from now on the export of vaccines from the EU to these countries will also require examination and approval.

The EU is outraged at Astraznica for not fulfilling its commitment, according to the EU, to deliver the vaccine doses.
The argument is that the supply to the UK is the same.
This interest is another source of tension between Brussels and London.
On the other hand, on behalf of Astraznica it is reported that there are 16 million packages planned for distribution throughout the EU, of which 10 million will be delivered during the last week of March.
The focus will be on, among other things, economically weak countries, which will receive 13 million vaccines, a step that is also supported by the European Union.
The company's announcement also stated that the production process is very complex, and quality inspections take time.
