EU unable to cap COVID-19 vaccine prices in secret deals
Redacted documents provided “no meaningful transparency”
What’s more, deals have long remained secret, despite €3 billion of so-called Advanced Purchase Agreements to secure orders and de-risk production for drugmakers. “Contracts were only released after months of pressure from civil society, MEPs and the European Ombudsman,” says Olivier Hoedeman of Corporate Europe Observatory. This EU-watchdog NGO submitted two freedom of information requests to the Commission in September 2020 to access records. In addition to contracts, 365 internal documents were identified, but only 80 were shared.
“Unfortunately they were so heavily redacted that their disclosure provided virtually no meaningful transparency at all,” says Hoedeman, who adds that the EU failed to use its negotiating power to prevent Pfizer, Biontech and Moderna from gaining a monopoly on mRNA vaccines.
被编辑的文件 "没有提供有意义的透明度"
更重要的是，尽管有30亿欧元的所谓预购协议来确保订单并为制药商的生产降低风险，但交易长期以来一直是秘密的。"欧洲企业观察组织的Olivier Hoedeman说："在公民社会、欧洲议会议员和欧洲监察员的压力下，合同才得以公布。这个欧盟监督非政府组织在2020年9月向委员会提交了两份信息自由申请，以获取记录。除了合同之外，还发现了365份内部文件，但只有80份被分享。
Hoedeman说："不幸的是，这些文件被严重编辑，它们的披露几乎没有提供任何有意义的透明度。"他补充说，欧盟未能利用其谈判能力来阻止辉瑞、Biontech和Moderna获得mRNA疫苗的垄断权。
