We didn't start rolling out the AZ vaccine until Jan 4th and were already ahead of all but Denmark with the Pfitzer vaccine.
Try again.

Re: Coronavirus
It's becoming very clear tonight - The European Commission blindsided the British AND Irish govts on Article 16. So much for their "Respect Dublin" approach.

The EU and the UK need to behave like grown ups. We've dragged them down to our level, which means we all lose.

You could be right.

A Government source said the Taoiseach had not being given any advance warning of the EU decision to invoke the article in the protocol. The source said the article may have been inadvertently triggered by “someone who did not understand the political implications” of the decision.

The UK government has done absolutely nothing, except make the bare minimum responses to specific questions about UK vaccine supply that have arisen purely because the EU is desperately trying to deflect attention from the mess it’s made.
It’s a stretch, even for you, to identify British mischief behind the yields of Pfizer and AstraZeneca factories in Europe, the time it took the EU to sign any vaccine deals, who the EU signed deals with and how much it bought.

Re: Coronavirus
Looks like Dublin hit the roof about it. Some others within the EU - especially Barnier - seem to have been angry as well.

Re: Coronavirus
Still should be borne in mind that the EU was all too prepared to take this illegal action.

Third countries/Global dimension
What if a third country has an APA with a manufacturer in the EU?
The Commission is mindful of APAs contracted by third countries, and will endeavour to ensure that the expectations of these countries to obtain their deliveries will be met.
We call on companies with APAs to meet their obligations to deliver on their commitments.

And yet the EU is trying to block that for the UK.

Now, now. The forum standard is to credit Britain for any such change.

Re: Coronavirus
Give the EU some credit. For about 2 hours this evening the DUP and Sinn Feinn were in complete agreement on something.

If I can borrow a spare Cable Forum tin hat for a minute, I would suggest that the EU has been infiltrated by Ultra Brexiters who are doing an amazing job in distracting the British public from seeing the genuine difficulties that many in British business are facing in trading with the EU post Brexit.
The EU's actions are gold dust for EU detractors. You couldn't make this situation up for Yes Minister, it wouldn't leave the cutting room floor.
