Thats a lame excuse they say there is a clear commitment and that is why they hope the company will publish the this particular contract today for everyone to see that the promises that have been made to the e. U. Are unfulfilled so that the e. U. Not know that the u. K. Would have priority and is was the lack of Due Diligence on the on the use part or should i have told them. There from from the perspective of the e. U. There is a lack of information though the key issue for them is that if you cut the vaccine supply that was promised by contract by more than half by 60 percent you need to come up with some some really good reasons for that and those reasons have been given apparently there is a problem in the supply chain on the european side in effect 3 in belgium but from the perspective of the e. U. Arsenic as a club a company theyre producing as far away as india and if they have supply problems that bug needs to be shared by all the countries that they are at handing out their v
See the European Union has spent hundreds of millions of euros in advance even before approval from the European Medicines Agency so that a vaccine can be produced so the moment it is approved it is there to be vaccinators so but thats also part of the problem astras is supplying vaccine to the United Kingdom isnt it.

Also in india and that supply chain problems must then affect all those countries that are buying vaccines and europe is the biggest customer and it cant be that its just europe that is carrying the burden just because the supply chain problem appears to be in a belgian factory but both are strong and the e.

And so obviously thats very concerning sign of buckley nationalism here and brussels Officials Say humanitarian vixen donations will be exempt from tougher export controls they promise help will come soon to say that the e. U. Is not doing anything i think its is really not correct that we are actually in discussion both with the Member States but also with the pharmaceutical companies in order precisely to help this advance the e. U. Was quick to call for Global Cooperation against a pandemic but so far its been too slow to live up to promises of global solidarit
A 13 year legal battle. Im still going to welcome to the program the European Commission has approved corona virus vaccine for use across the e. U. Brussels signed off on the drug after the european bed since Agency Approved the drugs used in people over the age of 18 the e. U. Is facing a stove of criticism for the slow pace of its vaccine rollout astra zeneca this is the 1st to gain approval after those from biotech pfizer and medan. Straight to brussels that we find correspondent teri schultz welcome terry millions of people in the u. K. Have already received this vaccine why is the e. U. Been so slow. Thats right phil but despite all the pressure and the criticism that European Medicines Agency is not in the business of apologizing for taking whatever time it feels is necessary in a life or death issue like this so today in our briefing e.
