The United Kingdom doesnt want to come to the EUs vaccine party if it cant be one of the hosts.<\/p>\n

The U.K. confirmed on Friday that it will not accept the EUs invitation to join the blocs plan to advance purchase vaccines \u2014 as first reported Thursday in the Telegraph<\/a> \u2014 raising concern that the U.K. will become a competitor instead.<\/p>\n

One of the key reasons the U.K. government turned its nose at the EUs invite is that London wouldnt be in the driving seat: The U.K. would \u201chave no say\u201d in the negotiations with vaccine producers, the government said, meaning it could not decide what vaccines it could purchase, at what price and in what quantities.<\/p>\n

The U.K. would also not be able to negotiate with any company the Commission is negotiating with. Instead, the U.K. wants to host its own conversations with companies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe U.K. would not be allowed to continue pursuing independent discussions with pharmaceutical companies, which is key to ensuring the British public have swift access to any vaccine,\u201d the government said in a statement Friday.<\/p>\n

The formal announcement comes after Commission chief spokesperson Eric Mamer declined to comment on whether the U.K.s decision would increase competition or not. He said only that it wouldnt influence the \u201cvery intensive\u201d ongoing negotiations the Commission is having with vaccine producers.<\/p>\n

The U.K. added that it is still \u201ccommitted to strengthening\u201d its collaboration with the EU by sharing information about promising vaccines, negotiations and manufacturing.<\/p>\n

Some are nevertheless critical of the decision. Peter Liese, a German MEP from the European Peoples Party, pointed to how British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said \u201cwe are all in this together\u201d during the Commissions pledging conference to raise money for vaccines, treatments and diagnostics.<\/p>\n

Liese called these \u201cempty words.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe U.K. government is putting their will to cut [their] connection to the European Union over the interests of patients,\u201d Liese told POLITICO. \u201cDespite Brexit, we need to cooperate.\u201d<\/p>\n

The EU has argued that pooling countries resources and purchasing power will provide more financial support for the development of vaccines \u2014 and gain access for those in the EU and developing countries.<\/p>\n

But the U.K.s potential snub is a blow to the EUs vaccine plan, which was the Commissions effort to bill itself as the new global leader<\/a> in securing vaccines for the world.<\/p>\n

The Commission has tried to step up to the plate now that the U.S. has vacated<\/a> the global stage \u2014 and out of fear<\/a> that the U.S. will try to secure all doses of a successful vaccine for itself. But now, the EU might end up competing with the U.K. for vaccine access as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that the European Union, with its significant population, in any case, represents an interesting market for the companies with which we are negotiating,\u201d Read More \u2013 Source<\/a>
