The EU are so impressed in the way that the UK has put one over on the EU that they'll probably be ready to make significant concessions on the bureaucratic red tape that is strangling many UK businesses.

UK quietly restricted Covid medicine exports to EU | The Week UK
The government last year placed export restrictions on medicines that could be used to treat Covid-19, despite criticising the EU for considering its own controls on vaccines produced on the continent.
Exports of around 100 drugs that have been suggested as possible treatments were banned because they “are needed for UK patients”, Politico reports.
Analysis by the news site found that the government “imposed controls on the export of over 170 medicines to other countries” since March last year.

Boris Johnson this week attacked the EU amid reports that the bloc was considering imposing export controls on the Pfizer Covid vaccine produced in Belgium. The prime minister said he strongly opposed “restrictions on the supply of drugs across borders” and “restrictions on vaccines or their ingredients across borders”.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Yep but he hasn't gone through with it, even considering how much disruption has occurred, and how much noise has been made about it. That's because its a nuclear option, only used when nothing else can be done.Originally posted by darmstadt View Post

the EU didn't go through with it either, they just proposed it. The UK are paying nearly 3 times the price per dose from AZ than the EU as they insisted on a clause in the contract that they would get all their doses to the detriment of everyone else. This is why Johnson cites 'national security' over the contents of the UK-AZ contractOriginally posted by CheeseSlice View Post“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Looks like individual EU members (France and Germany) are now threatening AZ.
