		</div><p>The EU Commission did not renew its order for AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 vaccine, the European Union’s Internal Market Commissioner said.</p>
<p>“We have not renewed the order for after June. We’ll see what will happen next,” Thierry Breton told French radio France Inter.</p>
<p>The announcement comes one day after the European Union cemented its support for Pfizer-BioNTech’s vaccine by agreeing to a massive contract extension for a potential 1.8 billion doses through 2023.</p>
<p>Two weeks ago, the EU launched legal proceedings against AstraZeneca for allegedly failing to respect the terms of its contract with the 27-nation bloc.</p>
<p>The AstraZeneca vaccine had been central to Europe’s immunisation campaign and a linchpin in the global strategy to get vaccines to poorer countries since it is cheaper and easier to use than the Pfizer vaccine.</p>
<p>Across the Channel, Britain has made the AstraZeneca vaccine the centrepiece of its vaccination campaign.</p>
<p>It comes as EU member states are aiming to agree on a system for digital vaccine certificates for international travel by June 21st, Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte said.</p>
<p>Some member states will begin using the system to ease restrictions surrounding non-essential travel, according to The Irish Times, however, others may wait until August following an agreement there would be a six-week period to introduce the new initiative.</p>
<p>Following a meeting of EU leaders, Mr Rutte said: &#8220;This timetable now would be that we all hope that by the 21st of June&#8230;there is an agreement.&#8221;</p>
<p>He also said the Netherlands would introduce the system &#8220;as quickly as possible after that date&#8221;.</p>
