In the letter sent to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, the companies - including Pfizer, Eli Lilly and AstraZeneca - said they face cost disadvantages in Europe versus the US,

Oh yeah, famous european Pharmacy Companies like Eli Lilly and Pfizer. And AstraZeneca is British

For a decade "the innovative industry has entirely reimbursed the increase in expenses linked to innovative medicines," the letter said, according to Les Echos.

What are they talking about? Those new drugs are crazy expensive and profitable

The industry also said in the letter that it takes issue with a fee the sector will soon need to pay to treat wastewater from micropollutants, Les Echos said.

I don't know anything about this fee, does somebody have more background about this. Is it just for the companies who pollute the water or for everyone.

The last comment from Macron about underinvestment is also funny. Like every Neoliberal/Conservative he cuts research budgets and then complains about the consequences.
Fuck him
