The EU has this afternoon introduced export restrictions on Covid-19 vaccines.
Announcing the export controls European Commission vice president Valdis Dombrovskisv said: “Commitments need to be kept, and agreements are binding. Advance purchase agreements need to be respected.”
“Today, we have developed a system which will allow us to know whether vaccines are being exported from the EU. This increased transparency will also come with a responsibility for the EU to authorise, with our members states, these vaccine exports.”
Dombrovskis confirmed exports to the UK will be affected by the changes.
