Wow. Presuming this is true, what will the yanks do. They were most vociferous about us invoking it with threats about trade. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

That's a bold move given that most of the vaccine manufacturers involved also have production facilities located outside the EU...
EDIT:
Do we now threaten the EU with prosecution for breaking international law by breaching the Good Friday agreement? ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

No good picking your cards back up off the table once everyone knows what hand you're playing.
EDIT: And if you break international law, then change your mind, did it still happen?

The interesting thing is they never even told ireland they were going to mess around with the border. If there was ever an indication of how the EU isn't answerable to anyone this is it.
As Stinkwheel says, the fact they have redacted it doesn't matter in th context they were quite willing to do it in the first place.
Spain have said 'It was an accident'
To add to the confusion, Spanish foreign minister Arancha Gonzalez-Laya said the triggering of Article 16 was done by ‘accident’. She told BBC Newsnight: ‘I understand, and this is what I hear from the European Commission, that there was an accident. ‘The accident or the mishap has been repaired and I think that is important.’

So.
von der Leyen's chief spokesmans response to the whole Irish border debacle was to state... And I shit you not!
"Only the Pope is infallible, you know?"
Well, I'm sure that will calm things right down. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

If you want the Gold Standard of hopeless press secretaries, you have to check out the empty, rambling, off-topic and flustered replies of Jen Psaki, the US government's new offering.

Strange, I just watched a couple of videos and she seemed to be doing a good job. Got any examples? |

Yup. Like your constitution. Fry it to a cinder
And speaking of rules and principles that are supposed to be inviolable, what did that staunch Irishman Biden have to say about the EU trying to put a hard border between Eire and N.I., against the established protocol? I missed that. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

I think the biggest export from the US has always been culture, but they're busy destroying that now. Everything else has now been copied to death elsewhere, so I don't think we'll lose much in that sense. I have an American-made guitar...I think that's it. I don't think any food or clothes or other essentials I buy come from the US, not that I can think of. Oh, tech stuff, but I'm not big on tech anyway, and the US tech companies I think will find themselves also being made redundant by others doing similar, and not having to swallow the daft politics the US companies have adopted. We're connecting up to many other markets now, so we'll always find some alternative. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017
