BRUSSELS, Jan. 27 (Xinhua) -- European Commissioner for Health and Food Safety Stella Kyriakides on Wednesday called on AstraZeneca to live up to its contractual, societal, and moral obligations as the European Union (EU) criticizes the company for not being able to deliver the amount of COVID-19 vaccine as agreed.

"Let me be crystal clear: the 27 European Union Member States are united that AstraZeneca needs to deliver on its commitments in our agreement. We are in a pandemic. We lose people every day. These are not numbers. They are not statistics. These are persons, with families, with friends and colleagues that are all affected as well," she told a press conference.
