Austria’s Kurz says solution in sight over EU vaccine distribution
Austria’s Chancellor, Sebastian Kurz, says the European Union is close to a decision on how to make the distribution of Coronavirus vaccines in the bloc fairer.
“I am happy that we are close to a solution’’, Kurz said on Wednesday in Vienna after a video conference with EU Council President Charles Michel and several other heads of government.
Kurz and his counterparts from Bulgaria, Croatia, Latvia, Slovenia and the Czech Republic on Tuesday called for a change to the current practice, where some countries received more vaccine doses than their share.
The EU states had agreed, in principle, on proportional and simultaneous deliveries according to the population size but some countries ordered less of certain vaccines than they were entitled to.
