Von der Leyen stresses the need for EU countries to share equipment among themselves.
The move came as Germany became the latest EU country to partially close its borders, halting crossings from France, Austria and Switzerland as of Monday in a bid to slow the spread of Covid-19. Von der Leyen stressed the need for EU countries to share equipment among themselves, hitting out at national export bans – imposed notably by France and Germany – as counterproductive.
Von der Leyen said the commission was working with industry to boost production and would launch a joint procurement programme with national governments on Monday for coronavirus testing kits and ventilators for treating seriously ill patients.With Europe now the epicentre of the pandemic, the EU has been ramping up its efforts to coordinate the fight against the virus across all its 27 members.
“Thousands of bus and truck drivers are stranded at internal borders on parking lots, creating more health risks and disrupting our supply chains,” she said.
I though Brutus was the most stupid pm. Now I see the EU have a leader just as stupid. Boarder chechs are to ensure the safty of a countries people. Stupidly seems to be a normal thing with governments of the world.
