ESB is talking whiff, you've been far harder on the EU in this regard than most

It was glib throw away comment about a situation where no one was harmed

It is though

The EU strike first blow ;) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-55822838

I have no interest in fighting about it so let's call it quits ;)

A "Sun" opinion piece as well

I've already admitted I called that wrong ;)

Ah the called out for flouncing off so pretend not to flounce move. Classic since primary school

Seems to have cancelled his meeting with them because they are angry at him

seen it?

Can we also agree that the Chairman of AZ flouncing off is only going to make the situation worse?

If the shoe was on the other foot then the clamour to ban exports would be deafening which I just find a tad hypocritical.

Best effort? They paid 300 million up front which is a pretty valid contract of sale.

That is not the argument that the EU is saying. The EU is saying why when you can supply other markets can you not fulfil our order we paid in cash up front for. As i said flouncing away like AZ have done today isn't going to help anyone

And also they don't have to bully anyone, they can legally as has bene pointed just say no vaccines made in the EU ca be exported out the EU

But we lose out more in that as the UK AZ is for the AZ market so we would lose out on Pfizer vaccines. Even you can see that it is surely better to come to some sort of agreement rather flouncing off like AZ have done.

And would that give them the vaccines they need? So you can see why the EU is trying to look after the EU.

AZ shouldn't just flounce away from planned meetings with people who have ponied up 300 million in advance. The EU is legally allowed to block exports of things.

That's the argument but as I said the EU isn't accepting that. I'm not saying it's right but as AZ have pulled out of a meeting with the EU scheduled for Wednesday the EU will take some form of action.

The EU's argument is they paid in full up front and thus partly funded the research of the vaccine. Sadly this isn't going to go away and AZ will need to sort something out as the EU isn't going to sit back and accept only 605 ofg the vaccines it needs.
