EU criticises 'hasty' UK approval of Covid-19 vaccine
The UK regulator launched its own rolling review on 30 October, and analysed less data than made available to the EMA. "If you evaluate only the partial data as they are doing they also take a minimum of risk," the EMA's former head Guido Rasi said.
"Personally I would have expected a robust review of all available data, which the British government has not done to be able to say that without Europe you come first," he added.
MEPs were even more explicit in their criticism of Britain's move.
"I consider this decision to be problematic and recommend that EU member states do not repeat the process in the same way," said MEP Peter Liese, who is a member of German Chancellor Angela Merkel's party.
"A few weeks of thorough examination by the European Medicines Agency is better than a hasty emergency marketing authorisation of a vaccine," said Mr Liese, who represents the centre right grouping, the largest in the EU Parliament.
