To clarify: the shipment for Sweden was eventually released by France. This was clearly a snafu, but it was eventually resolved.

- Yoric 7y agoMore details here [1]. 4 million masks from Sweden (although newspapers had initially reported they were for Sweden) were seized while stored in France. This includes 1 million that were shipped towards France, 1 million towards Switzerland, 2 millions towards Italy and Spain. After much diplomacy, 2 millions were released. My guess is that these are the masks meant for Italy and Spain (part of the EU) and that the masks shipped outside of the EU (Switzerland) were requisitioned.
