Already a heavy hitter in Brussels, Big Pharma s clout has only grown during the pandemic. And it has a list of demands.
The scramble to secure shots, complete with threats and export bans, has put drugmakers in the limelight like never before and emphasized the strategic importance of the industry. As coronavirus vaccine-makers posted fat profits, CEOs acquired a direct line to the EU and to heads of state. Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton boasted in March that he made the rounds calling pharma top executives every morning to check progress on vaccine production.
And now, as the European Commission pushes to overhaul EU rules for the industry, drugmakers want to see a return on that political capital.

Vaccination program in India stalls as nation faces deadly third wave SPOTLIGHT
Updated Jul 11, 2021, 12:19 pm IST
Less that 5 percent of India’s population has been fully vaccinated since the program began in January
Although the government has pledged to vaccinate 900 million citizens by the end of the year, the campaign has so far been hampered by the slow pace of rollout, supply shortage and vaccine hesitancy.
India has sadly joined the United States and Brazil as only the third country in the world to reach the grim milestone of 400,000 lives lost to Covid-19.
The news comes as experts caution that even this fatalities figure may be an underestimate and predict that the country – which has recorded 30 million cases – could soon suffer a deadly third wave unless its vaccine campaign is significantly accelerated.
