Polonia contestă în instanță obligația de a plăti 1,3 miliarde de euro către Pfizer pentru vaccinurile anti-COVID nepreluate

Poland is appealing a Brussels court ruling requiring it to pay Pfizer €1.3 billion for unaccepted COVID-19 vaccine doses. The Polish Health Ministry argues the court overlooked key facts and is seeking to suspend the ruling until the appeal is resolved. The dispute stems from a 2021 contract negotiated by the European Commission, which Poland later rejected due to decreased demand and budgetary shifts caused by the Ukraine war. Pfizer defends the court's decision, emphasizing the importance of contractual obligations during the pandemic response.
