Socialist MEP Calls for European Pharma Industry Development
The European Union needs to develop its own pharmaceutical industry to curb its reliance in vaccine development on continents with better infrastructure, Socialist (MSZP) MEP István Ujhelyi told an online press conference on Wednesday.
Referring to delays in the rollout of the coronavirus vaccine in the bloc, Ujhelyi said “the current political blame game” was a result of certain manufacturers’ inability to deliver the contracted amount of coronavirus vaccines in the first month of inoculations.
Meanwhile, the Hungarian government is blaming Brussels for the delays, he said.
Ujhelyi has requested data in the public interest on the details of Hungary’s vaccine procurement efforts from the relevant ministries and Hungary’s public health authority.
Foreign Minister: Turkey Would Welcome Hungarian Help in Vaccine Testing
Turkey would welcome assistance by Hungarian experts during the third, clinical phase of testing its coronavirus vaccine, Péter Szijjártó, Hungary’s foreign minister, said in Ankara on Monday after talks with Turkish counterpart Fahrettin Koca.
The Turkish initiative would enable them to examine if the vaccine can be added to the assortment of jabs deployed in Hungary against the disease, Szijjártó told MTI.
Turkey is developing 16 vaccines, he said, adding that the one in the most advanced stage is expected to reach phase 3 in the next three to four months.
