The EC announced that the EU countries have the right to buy "Sputnik V"

“From a legal point of view, EU member states have the right to purchase vaccines from suppliers that are not included in the European vaccine pre-order package,” TASS quoted him as saying.

Thus, he answered a question regarding the procurement of Russian vaccines by the EU countries.

Mamer stressed that in such cases, the EU countries "themselves will be responsible for all the consequences of the use of these vaccines."

Earlier, the European Medicines Agency began a consistent examination of the registration dossier of the Sputnik V vaccine.

On March 1, Slovakia became the second country in the EU to register the Russian Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine on its territory.
