row earlier, when the european commission threatened to override part of the brexit agreement and impose border controls on the export of the vaccines in northern ireland. it sparked a furious response not just from the united kingdom, but also from the irish prime minister. micheal martin said the eu s move had been deeply unwise. here s our europe editor katya adler. the commission is going to backtrack, it is not going to suspend part of the irish protocol, part of the brexit agreement that of course we spent so long talking about how the commission was insisting on every letter, every word of that agreement being respected, privately i m being told it has been recognised here that suggesting to do that was actually a misjudgement and in error and i think the eu is risking alienating other allies like japan or canada, australia, that could be affected by those export restrictions. and it is not enough to say that yes, 0k, we know that pharmaceutical companies are not deliv
