  • BRUSSELS, BELGIUM – MARCH 25: President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen is talking to media at the end of a virtual EU Leader summit in the Justus Lipsius, the EU Council headquarter on March 25, 2021 in Brussels, Belgium. On the Covid-19 crisis, the leaders declare: ‘Accelerating the production, delivery and deployment of vaccines remains essential and urgent to overcome the crisis. Efforts to this end must be further intensified. We underline the importance of transparency as well as of the use of export authorisations. We recognise the importance of global value chains and reaffirm that companies must ensure predictability of their vaccine production and respect contractual delivery deadlines. We confirm the pro-rata population key for the allocation of vaccines. We invite the Committee of Permanent Representatives to address the issue of the speed of deliveries of vaccines when allocating the 10 million BioNTech-Pfizer accelerated doses in the second quarter of 2021 in a spirit of solidarity.’ (Photo by Thierry Monasse/Getty Images)International
