     It's totally irrelevant where they choose to set up and manufacture the vaccine. 

    It may become relevant when their contractual obligation is to supply you product X by date Y from those manufacturing sites.

    The issue debated is the priority of delivery, and unfortunately the EU did not get their act together in time , so the UK's early orders took priority.

    That’s your claim that you keep making without providing any evidence. Again, where did the EU contractually agree that the UK shall be supplied before the EU?

    There's no anger from me,

    You certainly seem agitated.

    it's the EU who appear angry at being left behind in the vaccination process, hence their vindictive invoking of A16, trying to override the vaccine companies legitimate contractual obligations. I believe also a lot of EU citizens are not too happy with the state of affairs.

    The EU is taking actions against a contract partner not fulfilling their contractual obligations. That’s what people do when this happens. Has nothing to do with anger, though it certainly is annoying.

    I totally agree - so why didn't they???

    Common practice to take other measures first before suing. Maybe you didn’t enter many agreements in your life or you were lucky that you never had to deal with a contractual partner not fulfilling their obligations to you.

    I agree, if the EU thinks they violated the contract or violated the intent and ethics of it... then they should either sue them or suspend their license to distribute any pharmaceuticals (though that would maybe be overkill since it is a "UK-Swedish" company)...  So the most appropriate remedy would likely be suing them for any damages caused by the delay to the economy and people of the EU...  and let a court decide. 

    While I think the Article 16 move was bad, suing isn’t necessarily the only appropriate response to someone not honoring a contract. You can definitely demand that your contract partner undertakes everything he can to fulfill his obligations, and this may include taking the capacity from other customers. At the end of the day it’s really up to the contract partner and his problem alone how he manages to fulfill his contractual obligations, and not something that you as a buyer would have to care about. So this really doesn’t have anything to do with the UK but is purely between the EU and AstraZeneca. So I am surprised that some Brexiteers take this personally and get so offended.

    It doesn't, but it does state that the UK, who ordered in advance, will be supplied first, hence UvdL's reaction.

    I very much doubt that the contract says that. Would you share the respective clauses here please? 
     

    The contract I am aware of says AstraZeneca will manufacture the vaccine at manufacturing sites located within the EU and also stipulates that this includes plants based in the U.K., more specifically two out of four manufacturing sites mentioned in the contract are in the U.K. So maybe you should direct your anger at AstraZeneca instead.

    It is not in he EU's interests to come up with solutions for the Irish border. It is in their interests to use the border issue as an obstacle. 

    A solution would have been found ages ago if the EU were not hell bent on making it a problem. 

    A solution was found ages ago. It was the UK who was hell bent to destroy that solution. Because the solution was not in the UK’s interest. No deal with the consequences.

    Whose-ever idea it was it was not a very good idea, are you not bothered that our citizens in NI are not being treated the same as the rest of us, come on you keep saying that you're a patriot, show it.

    The “patriotic” thing to do and the treatment “our citizens in NI” deserve is another civil war in Ireland?

    Where do borders go, there is only one place for a border to go and that is between two foreign countries and and a border will not break the GFA, only a militarized border would do this.

    Borders between countries come with border posts and police. That alone would be enough to break the GFA and risk another conflict.

    https://www.gov.uk/browse/business/exports

     

    The UK government did that years ago and gave updated information and guidance throughout the process.  If they were too dim or lazy to not follow it and get prepared well in advance then that was, is, their hard luck. 

     

    Did they also provide the necessary customs professionals or is that just some cost those companies have to absorb while they’re looking forward to their Brexit dividend? 
     

    I guess I’ll have to trust you on this one given that I don’t have time to go through those guidelines. Even though from my experience, such government guidelines merely provide high-level guidance but are far from an executable plan let alone the necessary resources to execute those plans. Professional service firms definitely like it.

    And by that, you caused the NI issue. It is really that simple. 
    The NI problem was there before we had a Brexit vote,

    No, it wasn’t. Not during the time of EU membership.

    but from what I am reading from your replies is we cannot have anymore democratic votes in the UK just in case it upsets the terrorists, you cannot be serious!

    You can do whatever you like. And you learn that there are consequences.

    No. It’s was so that we would officially be free of the EU clutches and their extended membership disguised as a Transition Period. 

    Exactly, like I said, slogans and symbols matter more than being well prepared, the result being that you’re still a quarter in and have to ask for another quarter more.

    Once the contributions have stopped negotiations can continue to resolve these issues. 

    At least you’re finally admitting that that “clean Brexit” doesn’t exist but turns out to be just another hollow slogan once reality hits.

    Good job he’s catering to Leavers and not those who would pander to the EU. Sorry Fritz but you are so obsessed with trying to claim we should have stayed that you cannot see our result. 

    Don’t worry Ahmed. It became a great source of entertainment to do a Google news search on “Brexit” every other day to read about your great results. Try it sometimes.
