The European Court of Justice has dismissed the European Commission's rejection of a New York Times' request to access text messages between its President Ursula von der Leyen and Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla on the purchase of billions of euro of Covid-19 vaccines.

The European Court of Justice Wednesday ruled there was no plausible reason to block the New York Times from getting European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's texts with a Pfizer executive.

The Commission is found to have wrongly refused to publish texts from its president during the Covid pandemic.
