The European Union's top court has ruled that the European Commission, led by Ursula von der Leyen, improperly concealed details of its Covid-19 vaccine contracts, marking a significant setback for the Commission President.
This decision comes at a critical time as von der Leyen seeks a second term in office. The Court of Justice of the European Union found that the public was not given 'sufficiently wide access' to the contracts, contradicting the Commission's actions of withholding parts of the purchasing agreements.
This ruling emphasizes the need for transparency in the EU's procurement processes, especially concerning public health matters.
