European Commission grants conditional clearance to Remdesivir – Reuters

The European Commission announced on Friday that it had granted conditional clearance for the use of Gilead Sciences' antiviral Remdesivir in coronavirus treatment, as reported by Reuters. 

This decision came after the European Medicines Agency's "rolling review" that started at the end of April. 

Earlier in the week, the Commission said it was in negotiations with Gilead to purchase enough doses for the member EU countries.
