Committed to enforcing competition in the pharmaceutical sector.
This week, we fined Teva €462.6 million for patent misuse and disparagement to delay rival multiple sclerosis medicine for their blockbuster, Copaxone.
To block a competitor’s product from entering and gaining market share, Teva:
🔹 Artificially extended Copaxone's patent protection
🔸 Systematically spread misleading information
Our decision will benefit #EU patients and national healthcare systems.

Tomorrow will mark 1,000 days since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
On this despicable anniversary, we honour the brave Ukrainians working and fighting for a free Ukraine with the colours of its flag on our headquarters.
Our enduring friendship and solidarity are here to stay. So is our commitment to work shoulder to shoulder towards a peaceful future within our Union.
Слава Україні! Europe is with you!
For those who don't know what the Minsk agreements were. In eastern Ukraine in 2014 & 2015, they were 2 laughable "peace" agreements with #Ukraine & Russia, which Putin, France & Germany helped broker.
And up until Feb 23rd 2022, Russia's occupation forces broke the ceasefire everyday & routinely moved heavy weapons into the demilitarized zone - killing & wounding #Ukrainian soldiers & civilians every week. They also routinely threatened, detained and harassed OSCE conflict monitors - and on one occasion actually killed an OSCE member.
Hence... President Zelensky doesn't want another sham Minsk-3 "peace agreement"
President Zelensky keeping it plain and simple tonight on peace talks with Russia. "We understand all these challenges now. We know how to act. And we want to warn everyone: there will be no Minsk-3; what we need is real peace."

Don't forget to fight #fascists while you still can.
Since 2014, #Putin has had 2 objectives:
1) a puppet government in #Ukraine to drain its wealth & resources;
2) prevent Ukraine from joining #EU & #NATO, to sustain objective 1.
Putin temporarily achieved objective 1 in 20% of Ukrainian territory temporarily occupied, but failed in the remaining 80%.
Putin could fail at objective 2, but while NATO members express doubt, Putin still hopes to achieve it.
Putin won't give up on objective 2 and end the #war unless NATO invites Ukraine to join.
