Sources, ok EU countries take legal action against AstraZeneca

(ANSA) - BRUSSELS, APRIL 23 - At least 26 EU countries have adhered to the decision of the European Commission to proceed with legal action against AstraZeneca. It is learned from multiple European diplomatic sources. The decision of the chancelleries was communicated through the Steering board mechanism (committee that brings together the Commission and the capitals). Germany was among the last to give its assent. However, the fonts were not in a position to confirm Hungary's ok. In principle, however, the EU Executive should go ahead with the legal action. A decision in this sense is expected for today. (HANDLE).
