Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz suggested yesterday that some members of the European Union may have signed “secret contracts” with vaccine companies to receive more doses than they were entitled to under EU-wide agreements. An EU spokesperson has said that it was up to members states to “ask less or more of a given vaccine”, while another EU official today said that “the coordination in the fight against the pandemic” will be the first point of discussions during the next summit, already scheduled for the end of March.
