Romanian air traffic operator ROMATSA gets January 2027 hearing in Pfizer revenue freeze case

The Court of First Instance in Brussels has scheduled a hearing for January 4, 2027, regarding a legal dispute between Pfizer and the Romanian Air Traffic Services Administration (ROMATSA). The pharmaceutical company is seeking to block the tariffs collected by the Romanian air traffic operator in an effort to recover outstanding debt owed by the Romanian state related to COVID-19 vaccine procurement.

This legal action stems from broader efforts to recoup funds associated with Romania's pandemic-era vaccine contracts. By targeting the revenue streams of ROMATSA, Pfizer aims to secure payment for the disputed debt. The upcoming court date marks a significant procedural step in a case that highlights the ongoing financial disputes between the pharmaceutical firm and the Romanian government.
