Reuters- French President Emmanuel Macron attended a virtual version of a European Union Summit on Thursday (March 25) from the Elysee presidential palace in Paris.
Ahead of the summit, Macron spelt out the frustration over vaccine rollouts that are far behind those of Britain and the United States, acknowledging that European leaders had been too timid.
"We didn't shoot for the stars. That should be a lesson for all of us. We were wrong to lack ambition, to lack the madness, I would say, to say: It's possible, let's do it," he told Greek television channel ERT.
The EU's executive unveiled plans on Wednesday (March 24) to tighten oversight of vaccine exports that would allow greater scope to block shipments to countries with higher inoculation rates.
