I don't think for a minute that there isn't to be honest but at least this way, the EU and a few other nations aren't competing against each other for the same products. Plus bulk buying (€1.5bn on PPE and €750m on ventilators) often works out cheaper.
Nothing to stop nation states buying their own kit of course but delegating the procurement can help. It's why NHS procurement at the trust level is such a dumb idea
