Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, has said that if Covid vaccine supplies in Europe do not improve, the EU "will reflect whether exports to countries who have higher vaccination rates than us are still proportionate".
As of 11 March, 3.9 million doses had also been exported from the EU to Canada, and 3.1 million to Mexico. One million doses have been sent to the US, even though it is a major manufacturer in its own right and has not exported any vaccines to the EU. "Let me be clear, we have not blocked the export of a single Covid-19 vaccine or vaccine components," Prime Minister Boris Johnson told the House of Commons on 8 March.
"Until then he won't be in a position to give vaccines to anybody, and he has made that point to me."So, there is no export ban, but publicly available information suggests vaccines are not being exported from the UK. The government argues that is driven by the contractual obligations which vaccine suppliers have to their customers, rather than by the demands of politicians.that it was a case of "you supply us first".

Blaming others for their mistakes
They have really put my mind at rest, it is not a union It's a dictatorship who want to prove they rule Europe Don't keep biting the UK ,WE CAN BITE BACK WE HAVE PROVED IT ONCE , SO BACK OFF BorisJohnson
EU DICTATORSHIP WARNS US AGAIN , WE HAVE REMOVED OURSELVES FROM THE DICTATORSHIP, GET OVER IT
Nazi !
EU needs to learn that they are in no position to warn anyone.
Warn who they like. Miserable lot.
Two can play at that game. If In the UK, we have manufactured vaccine and promised contractually to export it to EU countries, cancel it and keep for our own people. Two can play at that game.
Politics 'if were not getting it neither are you so there !' How very childish !
Attempting to deflect News away from an appalling track record of purchasing mistakes, slow to implement vaccination programs and finally to delay AZ vaccination for no scientific reason. Absolutely no point in sending AZ vaccines to the EU if they just let them rot in the fridge
I love how they're showing their true colours.🤣🤣
This seems like the attitude of certain countries in 1939...vonderleyen europeanunion Humanity

It’s ok, EU voters will be able to get rid of her at the next election 😂
Reminiscent of Nazi Germany her soeech making is
Eu showing their true colours, slow and shambolic to order their own supply. now trying to block the deliveries leaving the eu. this Is how the eu works.
We have a contract with the supplier, not the EU. Likewise, we are not blocking exports, any issues with supply are with the supplier. They're further back in the queue cause they were slow to order. Why is she getting arsy about something they're not even using anyway?!
Classic totalitarianism. Seize control of the means of production.
Only politicians can make an argument about health. Time wasters!
So the vaccines that Europe clearly don’t want.. the fact that UK is warning in a dip in supply why the hell are we not just taking the ones for Europe and give them the UK supply when it’s ready? That way no mountains of vaccines needing to be stored properly
They are damaging OAZ and leaving their people unvaccinated , rising infection rates and hospitalisation in this time . Vaccine stands in fridges . Meanwhile fear of OAZ amongst their people increases 🥺
One minuet their saying we won’t use the British made vaccine and now they are saying they want us to send it or they will stop supplies to us So to sum up the EU they are FUBAR
Funny they are whinging about the UK when Italy banned the delivery of the vaccines heading for Australia which was ordered by them with the manufacture. Also they are the ones that wasted the vaccines they stopped using because of a very dubious claim about blood clots
Irrespective of in it or out of it what a mess in terms of administration the EU is! But of course those running it are doing ok thank you!
The EU is still trying to control the UK France and other EU country's have stopped using Astra Zeneca, The UK is doing a far better job over vaccinations than the EU who are trying to defect blame
Maybe the EU should take their own advice and cease delaying, stopped and delaying vaccine exports which once stopped merely sit in warehouses in EU member countries or expire due to an inept EU.
What's the problem, the productivity of the whole EU can't compare with one UK?
why send something they do not use, as VT says the vaccine works in the body not the fridge
Unfortunately, the EU is covering its mistakes. And the EU countries who have suspended the AstraZeneca vaccines, are creating more mesd despite the EU vaccine regulator insisting that it is safe.
Maybe Pfizer should have thought of this before they took the money
Just because your vaccine program is shite
Is the EU a collection of nation states or a sovereign state capital Brussels
We are no longer part of the EU and any blocking of contractual private sector supply of vaccines should be honoured wherever it is in the world. If this issue escalates and lives are put at risk, well beggars belief where this could end up. EU and UK come to your senses!
So they don’t want it and don’t want others to have it....huh.
Sound a bit like Hitler syndrome she just uses the other arm but a bit limp wristed. Brexit still smarts a bit yes?.
The EU is a mess and is trying to divert attention away from its lack of leadership. Its hard to make boris look good, but this EU lady is doing a good job.
the thing is they still would not get any more doses as the contract signed with the company states 'we (uk) get it first' as mentioned in the article so all that would happen is more doses in storage
Babe.....we have divorced you. Please accept it and move on.
I want to see Remoaners expression on this news.
Disgusting... typical EU waiting to see how the vaccine rolled out here now messing with UK lives for the under 50’s !! Shame on them 😡
They ban it then demand it?
I was a remainer but all this pettiness from the EU about vaccines has made me glad we left. They were too slow to secure orders and now they're butthurt that the UK actually did a good job. Their smear campaign against AZ is despicable and it's only hurting their own people
divorces are always messy
The EU is now showing it's true colours. Plus too many cooks in the EU kitchen!
The most annoying thing is they have millions of doses of AZ vaccine that they can’t use as they’ve scared their citizens into thinking it’s not safe or doesn’t work. They’re a shit-show of the highest order when it comes to the vaccine roll out.
The EU can go and fuck themselves. Oh, hang on, they’ve already done that
Are jabs that are going to EU being wasted? As alot of countriea over there have stopped giving the aztra zenica jab. Id rather have a jab in my arm than see it being wasted!!!
Why does EU allow Ursula to be so bold?
EU still trying to control us
Do the EU want to use the AZ vaccines or not? Just playing politics perhaps, over contractual agreements?
EU seems to be full of morons. Don’t want to vaccinate but keep asking for more.
She’s a pillock - sorry a poisonous pillock
EU doesn’t manufacture anything it just adds red tape.
These threats are madness. She is a one-woman recruitment machine for brexit.
Mrs von der Leyen says 41 million vaccine doses have been exported from the EU to 33 countries in six weeks. More than 10 million of them have gone to the UK.
The EU are a gangster protection racket. The sooner the Europeans see the EU for what it is the better. Economic cooperation yes, totalitarian superstate, no.
She would give hitler a hardon
This is completely absurd. They've been lambasting AstraZeneca since the beginning, stopped the vaccination for the few thrombosis cases, yet they want to hoard vaccines? Why? They have no clue!
EU ridiculous. I was a remainer . Trade damaged but this is just envy that UK got this right. So petty.
Despicable political power posturing, while their people are getting ill and dying to salve their pride. A little Christian humility and a spirit of service wouldn’t go amiss during Great Lent - but I guess they have forgotten the Christian maxim of ‘love your neighbour.’
Hadn't realised vonderleyen was so pro Brexit
The EU sign contracts late, state that the AZ vaccine doesn’t work, change their mind, complain about deliveries, don’t use their stock, refuse an export to Australia, pause vaccinations against EMA and WHO advice then decide to ban exports of privately held stock. Genius
Incoming all the British people who wank over the EU and spaff at using the word gammon
BorisJohnson .BorisJohnson .uk uk eu .eu .potus potus .vp vp the eu is desperate you acknowledge it face saving and thenyou see howyoucan share abit whenthey try dirty tricks kicktheirasss whentheyare civillian showabit love
WTF? Isn't this a complaint that the UK is not supplying a vaccine they currently don't want to use?
I don’t understand why the EU keeps spouting this rubbish, all they seem to do is annoy everyone and look like a bunch of idiots.
EU is proving how tyrannical it is.
Start at 6 mins: Blood clots.
Fuck the EU, just still crying about us leaving the dictatorship!
