Big Pharma is calling the shots, @ManonAubryFr to Commission President @vonderleyen.
"The vaccines have been developed thanks to billions of euros of public money. Yet, patents remain in the hands of Big Pharma. As a result, governments cannot produce sufficient doses..."

"Only three contracts have been made public. This is what they look like: the most important information is hidden! For the other contracts, we will have to wait. Because yes, Big Pharma decides, not the Commission." @ManonAubryFr to Commission President @vonderleyen #EPlenary
"What an admission of impotence Ms. @vonderleyen! Isn't it for us to make the law? We are capable of imposing unprecedented restrictions on freedoms but unable to set rules for Big Pharma? We call upon a Committee of Inquiry to hold those responsible to account." @ManonAubryFr
No profit on pandemic, @BotengaM urged in #EPlenary
"Shareholder value costs human lives. We need fewer dividends for shareholders and more vaccines for all of us. Patents must be lifted."

For @Konecna_K, the Commission's handling of supply of vaccines is full of contradictions!
"On the one hand, the Commission says it supports Covax to supply vaccines to developing countries but, on the other hand, it wants to impose export controls..."

"We must ensure that the fiasco isn't repeated," @MacManusChris to @vonderleyen.
"We need a structural commitment with the north of Ireland at all levels, recognising its special status as defined by the Protocol alongside consistent dialogue with the joint First Ministers."

"For years best available science has been warning us of the apocalyptic consequences of anthropogenic climate change. We cannot afford to be unprepared again as there is no vaccine for the climate catastrophe," @PetrosKokkalis in #EPlenary on #NoProfitOnPandemic
"We must demand openness from Big Pharma and they must share their knowledge. We might even consider compulsory licenses. It is a mistake to say that three contracts have been published as so much is not known about them," @silviamodig in #EPlenary on #right2cure
Ms. von der Leyen must put life above all, says MEP Giorgos Georgiou.
"The pandemic offered an opportunity for Europe to regain some of the credibility it has lost. There has been a certain amount of failure. The joint vaccination policy was not what it was said to be."

"There was an unprecedented effort to mobilise resources and science responded. Citizens understand the investment in vaccines but they don't understand that ownership is now completely private," @mmatias_ rebukes Commission President @vonderleyen in #EPlenary on #right2cure
