Covid News Around the World One Year Later

[30Three]

The EU have exported over 20 million vaccines doses to the UK. But apparently the UK has refused to export vaccine to the EU.
This is supposed to be the argument regarding Vaccine according to the news sources in France.
However one has to wonder why; if producing vaccines in the UK and the EU that you would need to export both ways! Surely it would be easier to use what's already being produced locally and then export when your demand is met!
Or is that too simple?

Obviously the UK is way ahead on vaccinations, they've got well organised.
But I suspect that because of the UK's efficiency with the vaccine roll out; there is some jealousy from the EU countries, which is creating severre problems for business' in the EU that deal in UK produce.
We are having problems with some parts order's. Particularly big stuff or dangerous goods. We are waiting for stuff stuck in customs for many weeks. Before Brexit it would take 3 days for car batteries for example. We've been waiting over 6 weeks for a batch of 12 batteries. Plus a gearbox for a brand new car that is now blocked for over a week in German Customs.
No clue why it didn't get shipped straight to France. It's not just us though; the Marks and Spencer's food store in Paris has had serious problems with fresh goods from the UK. Lot's of bare shelves; that can't be good for business.
Hopefully these issues will get ironed out quickly. It's in no-ones interest to kill off the trade.
