Citizens. Welcome to the program the president of the European Commission ursula fund a line is urging drug maker astra zeneca to stick to commitments to supply the e. U. With its 1000. 00 vaccine the british Swedish Company has said its cutting the number of doses by 60 percent because of production problems astra zeneca also says it is not contractually obliged to deliver but funnel line said the contract is Crystal Clear many e. U. Member states are still failing to meet their vaccination targets. Correspondent. In brussels so the president of the e. U. Commission says their contract is Crystal Clear what does it say about the livery. Look ive been looking into this contract which i have here with me for the past couple of hours and i have to tell you its its a little bit difficult to tell what it says on the delivery schedule because if you go through the Relevant Pages they they look like this so a lot of the parts are blackened out and so they do not provide the Crystal Clear few
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. Exactly and the argument of the European Commission is that stress anika is a close call company that is producing not only in the e. U. But also in the u. K. 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. U. Have said its states in the contract that they respectively were right and now the redacted version of the contract that you have in front of you still doesnt shed any light on the core issues here why do you
Perilous time for the 2020 census. Troubling, there were reports indicating career officials at the Census Bureau warned the trump about significant problems that will delay the delivery of census data to late january or early february. After these reports became public, the director of the census, dr. Steven billingham, issued a Public Statement confirming problems were found, but provided no details.
