Gabor Steingart: Slow EU bureaucracy prevents swift vaccine approval
“The reason for the impatience is the deceleration of an already decelerated EU bureaucracy, which is not thrown off track even by a pandemic. The vaccine against Corona was developed in Germany, but is still waiting for its approval by the European Medicines Agency (EMA). The EMA is one of those good-natured Brussels authorities that understand how to exist at a low energy level: Good night, friends.”
– Gabor Steingart, journalist, author and media manager, in “Europe waits for the vaccine”, Steingart’s Morning Briefing from December 15, 2020
