German Chancellor Angela Merkel appreciated the use of the Russian Satellite Vaccine to its certification in Europe. It is reported by RIA Novosti.
According to her, before registering the European Medicine Agency (EMA), the use of the vaccine is unacceptable. Chancellor believes that it “does not contribute to solidarity in the community.”
Merkel added that it would not want the EU members to act together, only “when it suits them.”
“WHO always told us [in the EU]: You are not only a market space, you are regional space with very strong connections in the domestic market. With this domestic market, you cannot count on the fact that the virus will stop on some borders. This means that, ideally, we would always act always in Europe together [in relation to epidemiological measures], “politician said.
At the same time, on March 19, the German Chancellor admitted independent procurement by Germany “Satellite V” if the European Union does not reach a general solution. According to Merkel, Europe should use any vaccine admitted by EMA.
