I was taught the 6Ps as well. Nothing at all about "Preparation" in the Toyota Lean Manufacturing "tool box" but it is implied as part of the "Planning".

That guy Mr Liese stating that the UK is treating EU citizens as 2nd class is a big joke, isn't it? How many times has the EU treated US like that?

The EU continue to try and blame the UK for their own incompetence.

There must be a German word for it.

Eurocrats are hoping to use loopholes in the agreement to pressure the firm to divert tens of million doses made in Britain to the bloc. But AstraZeneca is confident it is in the right by announcing a delay to deliveries because of production hiccups at a number of European plants.
Any 'loopholes' likely to be EU, their ambiguous statements
vague and confusing.

It wasn't just a failure of oversight or even the glacially-slow decision making, held up inevitably by the EU's sheer size and overwhelming control freakery, but Brussels actually effectively stopped the member states from saving their own citizens' lives.

Astonishingly Germany quietly secured a stash of vaccine for itself. More astonishingly Mrs Merkel is sitting on that stash until all EU nations have received their allotted doses instead of getting it into German arms.

You probably don't need to be a trained epidemiologist to conclude many human beings might die as a result of these particularly mindless pieces of adherence to “one EU” dogma.

It's all so terrible that when all this is over the EU's conduct should be properly investigated as the crime it so obviously looks like to the man on the Essen omnibus.

Dogma is the enemy of good politics. Indeed of any good decision making.

And this awful scandal is proof, were any further proof needed, of why Britain was right to cut ties with this now, by definition, dangerous organisation.

I wonder why EU is focusing on UK supplies ??
Didn't Germany set aside 65 million doses of vaccine from a
German vaccine manufacturer for their own exclusive use earlier
this year??
I thought Germany was a member of the EU ?
UK is not anymore l believe ??
Why doesn't Germany share that with the other members ??
I have also noticed that Germany and France both seem to be able
to strike trade dale around the world independently of the EU
commissioners??
Whereas UK was not !!

Re: Thank God We are Out of the EU ...

Why is the EU Commission pushing AZ to publish the contract they both signed? If it's that important for the contract to be put into the public domain, why doesn't the EU publish their copy of it? Are they trying to hide something??
