The EU is doing nothing of the sort. The EU has trumpeted itself as a trading block, and the benefits of setting up to manufacture and trade within the EU and benefit from single currency, frictionless VAT and Duty within their borders. Commercial companies setup offices, manufacturing and distribution there,. they were invited and incentivised to by the EU to do so. This holds for the Pharmaceutical industries as well. Companies that trade globally. These companies have contracts to fulfil, which they thought they were free to do so from their own purchased or rented supply chains that happen to be in an EU member country. These companies are just commercially trading, which they want to be left alone to be able to do. The EU has played next to no part in developing a COVID vaccination in terms of R&D facilities, manufacturing, supply, and distribution. This has been done by companies that are fulfilling commercial contracts to supply countries worldwide, that involves shipping goods that have been ordered and paid for via contract, that are simply shipping from their EU country member based manufacturing or distribution hubs (exporting if you will). This happens despite the EU not because of it.
