BRUSSELS: The European Union should renegotiate a 1 billion euro contract it sealed last week with Gilead for a six-month supply of the COVID-19 drug remdesivir after it showed poor results in a large trial, experts said on Friday .

The EU announced on Oct 8 that it had signed the supply contract with the US company on behalf of its 27 member states and 10 partner countries, including Britain. Gilead said it did not plan to adjust remdesivir's price for wealthy countries after the WHO trial, and the company questioned its results.
