Hungary is also negotiating the procurement of several coronavirus vaccines, including Russian and Chinese vaccines, but Brussels says drugs from outside the EU cannot be used to control the epidemic.
According to information from the Hungarian Nation, the EU can only ban trade, citing market protection, not domestic sanitary use of the purchased vaccine.
All vaccines that are or will be available in the European Union must meet relevant EU approval and quality standards, Erik Mamer, chief spokesman for the European Commission, said at a press conference at the Brussels panel on Friday.
Mamer responded to a journalist’s question about how Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s announcement on Friday that Hungary is also trading vaccines in China and Russia dovetails with the strategy proposed by the EU Commission to procure and distribute vaccines. The Commission spokesperson noted without mentioning Hungary:
it is not possible to buy and use a vaccine in the European Union from outside the EU
non-compliance with necessary and applicable EU procedures and requirements.
Commission spokeswoman Vivian Loonela spoke about the fact that the European Commission is in intense negotiations with several vaccine manufacturers, whose product developments are showing promising results. The committee has so far concluded three purchase agreements to ensure access to the vaccines and is nearing the end of negotiations with three other manufacturers. He recalled that the EU committee had published a recommendation on the transport and storage of vaccines.
According to information from the Hungarian Nation
the European Union can only ban the marketing of a Russian or Chinese vaccine purchased by Hungary for market protection reasons.
If the vaccine remains in state stocks, the Hungarian health care can use it. In the spirit of fighting the coronavirus, Hungary is negotiating with everyone, including Russian and Chinese manufacturers.
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on Kossuth Radio on Friday Good morning Hungary! Among other things, the first dose of the coronavirus vaccine is expected to arrive in Hungary in late December and early January, so that chronic patients, the most vulnerable elderly, can be vaccinated around January.
And in large quantities, the vaccine is likely to arrive in April.
Said the prime minister. He added that he had instructed the operating strain to come up with a vaccination plan and that Chinese and Russian vaccines were also being negotiated, so there could be two or three types of vaccines in Hungary in the spring.
