'Pfizergate': Court finds EU Commission chief von der Leyen broke transparency rules
- On May 14, 2025, the EU General Court found that the head of the European Commission breached transparency regulations by failing to disclose her text message exchanges with Pfizer's CEO regarding COVID-19 vaccine negotiations.
- The ruling followed The New York Times’ request for access to SMS exchanged during 2021 negotiations, which the Commission denied, claiming the messages were not official documents.
- The Court found the Commission failed to credibly explain the disappearance of the messages and ordered that texts related to public procurement be treated as official EU records.
- MEPs and transparency advocates called it a "victory for transparency and accountability," urging the Commission to restore public trust and ensure all official communications are archived.
- The judgment compels the Commission to overhaul its access-to-documents policies and raises concerns regarding von der Leyen’s role in transparency, highlighting the urgent need for enhanced accountability and oversight.
