The European Commission did not provide the public with sufficiently wide access to the purchase agreements for COVID-19 vaccines, according to a ruling by the EU court. The court criticized the Commission's handling of the COVID-19 contracts, stating that the details of the vaccine deals were wrongfully hidden from the public. This decision upholds a challenge against the Commission's transparency during the pandemic. Europe's second-top court issued this ruling on Wednesday.
