🚨“Companies have to honour their contract to the EU before they export to other regions in the world. This is of course the case with AstraZeneca,” @vonderleyen announces.
"I think it is clear for the company that first of all the company has to catch up, has to honour the contract it has with the European member states, before it can engage again in exporting," @vonderleyen says.
