The EU is convinced that the development of Ugur ahin and Ozlem Tureci saved millions of lives, so their images should be posted on euro banknotes.
The European Central Bank is proposing to place portraits of Pfizer vaccine developers Ugur Shahin and Ozlem Tureji on EU currency banknotes. Thus, the EU wants to celebrate their contribution to overcoming the coronavirus pandemic.
This was reported by the Turkish TV channel NTV.
The European Central Bank has already begun the process of changing the design of euro banknotes. MEP Moritz Kerner suggested that one of the banknotes featured images of Ozlem Tureji and Ugur ahin, owners of Biontech, which produced the Pfizer vaccine.
In a comment to the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag, Moritz Kerner emphasized that the development of ahin and Tureggi saved millions of lives, so their images should be placed on euro banknotes.
“The European Central Bank announced in early December that images of banknotes other than 500 euros will be changed in 2024,” NTV reports.
< p> As you know, Ugur ahin and Ozlem Tureji, a married couple of German doctors and research scientists of Turkish origin, are the founders and owners of BioNTech, which developed and launched the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine.
