- An adviser to Europe's top court on Thursday recommended it to dismiss an appeal lodged by the European Commission against a 2024ruling forcing the disclosure of information on COVID-19 vaccine contracts.

The adviser recommended upholding the decision that annuled the Commission's decision to redact the names of the members of a negotiation team and some contractual clauses of the contract arguing protection of privacy of individuals and protection of commercial interests of the companies.

The recommendation is a setback for the Commission and its President Ursula von der Leyen, who was already at the helm of the insitution during the COVID crisis.
