EU Denies Existence of Ban on Selling Medical Equipment to Non-Member Countries

In the European Union there is no ban on exporting medical equipment, masks and respirators, but rather a system of approving permits for the sale of that equipment has been introduced for non-member states, so that requests can be issued and that equipment will be delivered to Balkan countries as well, it was announced in Brussels on Monday.

The European Commission’s chief spokesman, Eric Mamer, said this in answer to the journalist’s question of how come the EU “banned the export of protective medical equipment to Balkan countries”, while there are nurses and doctors from these countries working in the Union, Belgrade media reported.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic on Sunday, during the announcement of the decision on the introduction of state of emergency, was visibly angry because earlier that day the EC President Ursula von der Leyen said Brussels had imposed an EU-wide export ban for some medical protective equipment in a bid to keep sufficient supplies within the bloc.

It was announced on Monday that the first assistance from abroad to combat the epidemic had arrived in Serbia from China.

These are Covid-19 detection tests donated by the China’s charity Mammoth Foundation, news agencies carried.

It was not stated how much the shipment was or how much it was worth. But tabloid Blic posted on its website a video from the Belgrade airport in which only a single box - not bigger than two shoeboxes put together - could be seen carried from a small plane and into a Belgrade-based Torlak Institute car.
