Polish air-traffic agency funds frozen as Pfizer enforces €1.3bn ruling for Poland’s unpaid Covid vaccines

Poland's air-traffic control agency, PANSA, has been cut off from most of its revenue as part of efforts by pharmaceutical giant Pfizer to enforce a Belgian court ruling requiring Poland to pay €1.3 billion for COVID-19 vaccines it ordered but refused to accept. Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated the government would ensure PANSA receives funding to maintain operations and air safety. The issue stems from a legal dispute where a Belgian court ruled in favor of Pfizer, demanding payment for 60 million vaccine doses ordered by Poland through the European Commission but later declined. Eurocontrol, the organization managing European air traffic, has suspended payments to PANSA, citing the need to satisfy Pfizer's claim before resuming financial support. Poland plans to appeal the decision but requested a delay in enforcement, which was denied.
