Exports of vaccines so far:
UK: 0
EU: 0
Neither the UK nor the EU make vaccines.
Why can't people grasp this?
Each political entity has a contract with private companies. Neither political entity has any obligation to each other when it comes to providing doses as neither makes vaccines and so neither is in a position to export them.
If the EU bans vaccine exports they are restraining private trade between AZ and the UK. If they don't block exports, well that's just normal business and imposes no obligations whatsoever on a third party such as the UK.
