European Commission was wrong to redact Covid vaccine deal details: EU court

The European Commission was wrong to redact details of multi-billion-euro deals it struck to secure Covid vaccines during the coronavirus pandemic, the EU's top court said on Wednesday.

The commission failed to show how divulging indemnification details would harm the commercial interests of the pharmaceutical groups supplying the vaccines, and failed a "public interest" test by keeping secret the names of the EU officials involved, the court found.
