	Description:		Emily O'Reilly, who heads the EU Ombudsman, says she has been stonewalled by the European Commission when asking for information in relation to the "Pfizergate" affair. At the core of this controversy is an exchange of text messages between the EU Commission chief and the CEO of Pfizer in the run-up to a major contract signed between the EU and the pharmaceutical company for a Covid-19 vaccine. O'Reilly says this is a very important issue of citizens' trust in the EU. She also weighs in on the various transparency reform plans in the wake of the Qatargate bribery scandal that continues to ripple across the European Parliament.
