Quote from The Sun: Europe's shambolic jabs rollout was dealt another crushing blow last night as a French vaccine maker canned talks with Brussels.
Valneva, which has a deal with Britain and will make its shot in Scotland, slammed EU red tape as it broke off contract negotiations.
Its announcement is a major embarrassment for Ursula von der Leyen, who was put in charge of buying jabs on behalf of the bloc.
The chief eurocrat has come under fire from across the continent after the bungled scheme led to a shortage of supplies.
Valneva said it will "deprioritise" talks with Brussels but wants to work with individual EU capitals on a "country by country basis".
Chief executive Thomas Lingelbach fumed: "We've committed significant time and effort to try to meet the needs of the central procurement process.
"Despite our recent clinical data, we have not made meaningful progress.
"We are now concentrating our efforts on EU member states and interested parties outside the EU."

EU turning a shambles into a chrisis.
Vindicates the UK decision to go our own way on vaccine procurement.
