EU Court Orders Release of Von Der Leyen's Vaccine Texts | JQJO

The European Union court ruled that the Commission should have released text messages exchanged between President Ursula von der Leyen and Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla during Covid-19 vaccine negotiations. A New York Times journalist had requested the messages, which the Commission initially denied. The court's decision highlights the importance of transparency in governmental dealings, particularly in critical situations like the pandemic. This ruling could significantly impact future transparency rules within the EU.
