(ANSA) - BRUSSELS, JUN 10 - To accelerate the global deployment of the anti-Covid-19 vaccination, MEPs are calling for a temporary revocation of the protection of intellectual property rights.
In a resolution adopted today with 355 yes, 263 against and 71 abstentions, the European Parliament calls for a temporary derogation from the 'Trips' agreement of the World Trade Organization, in order to improve global access to medicines related to Covid-19 at affordable costs and to address world production constraints and supply shortages.
