This looks like a thoroughly meaningless statement.

The UK and EU have said they are working on creating a "win-win" situation and to expand vaccine supply for all citizens, as the row involving demand for the Oxford/AstraZeneca jab continues.
The UK government and European Commission have just released a joint statement.
“We are all facing the same pandemic and the third wave makes co-operation between the EU and UK even more important," it reads.
"We have been discussing what more we can do to ensure a reciprocally beneficial relationship between the UK and EU on Covid-19.

But I thought the EU’s complaint was the commercial terms of a contract they signed with a private company? And that the new export control measures were not aimed at any particular country (despite the terms of control being a suspiciously accurate description of the UK’s status re vaccines)? Why then are they now seeking a “reciprocally beneficial relationship” with HMG? Are they finally going to admit that they royally fecked up their whole vaccine plan and they need our help to fix it?
