Political relations between UK-EU

Lol

If you listen carefully you can hear Merkel screaming at Ursula von der Leyen

They need urgent training in contract law.

I do think the AZ row has all been posturing to block exports of Pfizer

Good post - and indeed - for people that are experienced in contracts it is quite easy and relevant to be able to assume/anticipate the clauses that will be present in contracts - and best endeavours will be in this contract - IMO

And experienced people know what 'certainty' that gives

There is no escaping the desire of some on here to just 'protect' the EU and their behaviour - no matter what and no matter how sycophantic (and possibly anti-UK) that makes them look

Just a thought - if there is a breach of a contract claimed - then there are well established steps that are then followed - they generally include courts

Do the actions taken by the EU - the ones @Ban-jani raised - really reflect the standard steps that should be taken?

I would suggest those that are saying so need a good look in a mirror

Best endeavours seems to relate to the process of trying to create a vaccine, not delivering it. How long would a legal case take? The EU seems keen to go to the bar of transparency - publish the contracts.

EU Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders has warned of a "vaccine war".

Speaking on Belgian radio, he said: "The EU commission has pushed to co-ordinate the vaccines contracts on behalf of the 27 precisely to avoid a vaccines war between EU countries, but maybe the UK wants to start a vaccine war?

"Solidarity is an important principle of the EU. With Brexit, it's clear that the UK doesn't want to show solidarity with anyone."

What a complete prick talking of war. We will definitely keep our vaccines now as we’re fearful that will be our only supply

Leaving aside that something may have been lost in translation is this guy the official spokesman for the EU on this or just giving his view? What was the context of his appearance on the radio? Was he there for something else rather than to specifically address the vaccine issue?

Would love to see people defend this rhetoric, I thought the dispute was between the EU and a company?

The UK have played down any animosity and then these wankers come out with this?

Hows it going to be viewed on the international stage?

This wanker

It was certainly Blair's motivation for seeking to get us into the Euro

Established fact, opinion or insider knowledge?

This is a great book, highly rated:


Broken Vows: Tony Blair The Tragedy of Power
Book by Tom Bower

It was described as more comprehensive than the Chilcott inquiry on Iraq alone.

Unless I’ve got this mixed up, Blair was trying his damnedest to get us into the Euro and Brown opposed him for the reason Brown made Blair’s life hell all the time, he hated him and wouldn’t forgive him for going for the leadership when he said he wouldn’t.

 

[Ban-jani]

Fucking amateur.

Oh my God. This is gold.
