The threat of 'no-deal' forced the UK to accept a deal that was more favourable to the EU. Now the threat of article Article 16 has forced the PM to act and agree that AZ must fulfill the contract with the EU. Link or did you just make that up?

An organisation with a market population of over 400 million has more power than one with 70 million.

It actually wasn't seen as an issue. Sadly our actual supplies are national secret! As I said, I think AZ have completely ballsed it up - having conflicting contracts. It may be terminal for them. I'd really hoped this could of all been resolved quietly. Sane people need to see at what rate the EU can actually vaccinate, and what the bottlenecks currently are in the actual vaccine production, certification, test and distribution systems. Is it that we have the drug substance but it then takes another 4 weeks to bottle and test? There may well be room for 'help' without causing anybody any difficulties at all.

"We agreed on the principle that there should not be restrictions on the export of vaccines by companies where they are fulfilling contractual responsibilities," she said. However, an EU statement also warned that if its new export control system was abused it would "consider using all the instruments at its disposal". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s a tough one to call for me because there’s a lot of countries that already feel aggrieved and lots that will feel aggrieved going forward particularly when the vaccines flow into rich countries and not to them.

Rock The Boat 1,324 Posted January 30, 2021 4 hours ago, horsefly said: Noticeable that the RWNJs haven't said one word in favour of the EU's decision not to invoke article 16. I take it they won't be expecting any extra supplies of vaccines from EU countries if there are production problems in the UK (which has happened in the past, as your link points out). Looking forward to them condemning Johnson's comment on not hesitating to invoke article 16.

A Load of Squit 5,116 Posted January 30, 2021 Not only are UK jobs, taxes etc going to the EU, investment from US and Asia is being lost to the EU. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/jan/30/uk-firms-plan-to-shift-across-channel-after-brexit-chaos The figures have been compiled by government unit the Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency, , which said that while most of the firms were already based in the UK, a minority were new companies from the US and Asia which had investigated a UK move, but had decided against investing here because of Brexit.
