Regulator heavily critical of aides to Ursula von der Leyen in relation to Covid vaccine messages
An investigation by an EU watchdog into text messages sent by European commission president Ursula von der Leyen to Pfizer’s chief executive has found the European Commission guilty of ‘maladministration’.
Von der Leyen’s aides are heavily criticised in the ruling from Emily O’Reilly, the European ombudsman, for their handling of requests for publication of the messages sent during negotiations over vaccine purchases.
