This Eu vaccine row

Re: This Eu vaccine row

I agree. Just a couple pf months ago they were warning us that our approval process was too quick and not robust. Best to take time with a comprehensive evaluation process even if to takes more time they said.
Their attitude now changed with time of the essence and they won't tolerate any sort of delay in supply.

It appears that they never even spoke to The Irish Government before acting.

Sky News are reporting that the EU are about to announce they have backed down from using Article 16 of the Northern Ireland Protocol. What this means in practice remains a mystery.

Re: This Eu vaccine row

This thread seems to be a little quieter this evening.

Strange that, considering the monumental bombshell dropped earlier and the subsequent backpedaling.

Has to be worthy of a comment or three in a thread that was popping last night.

Re: This Eu vaccine row

What the EU was quoted as saying in the news item as to their reason for overiding the Irish Protocol by taking the powers to stop Vaccines poing th Northern Ireland

"This is justified as a safeguard measure pursuant to Article 16 of that Protocol in order to avert serious societal difficulties due to a lack of supply threatening to disturb the orderly implementation of the vaccination campaigns in the Member States."

What they actually meant was

"We messed up our vaccine supply and we are now trying to blame anyone else we can particularly the UK"

Succinctly put.
Any counters to this?

Re: This Eu vaccine row

Europe has retreated on article 16 after a massive backlash .

God they really have embarrassed themselves.

Sadly Macron the ( poor loser ) is still dissing our vaccine , he's starting to sound like a European Trump anti-vaxxer .

Sorry for being pedantic, but it is important to distinct between Europe and The EU.

Re: This Eu vaccine row

Really? Most remainers I know, including myself, have just kept on demonstrating what a steaming pile of shit Brexit is and how it is negatively affecting people and their livelihoods, as predicted.

What a load of bollox. It was, and still is, a corrupt organisation. They are already showing their true colours over this vaccine situation.
Take of your “we are doomed sandwich board” and give it a rest.

It sounds selfish but Europe was supposed to be purely a self preservation body.

The benefits have ebbed away and is now more about giving than taking for certain members.

Re: This Eu vaccine row

The argument all along was .....its better to be in this huge market , right on our doorstep and saying we are a major economy , this is the score , than outside letting the fat cats rule

Well you voted out

Too late now

Hand on heart do you honestly believe that the UK had any clout when we were in the EU ?

If you remember Cameron sought to get concessions from the EU whilst we were in the organisation. It was widely reported that his efforts failed miserably and he was then surprised that the referendum result didn't go the way he was expecting.

In or out we were never strong enough to influence the way the EU was being run.
