David Jones27 Jan 2021 12:53PM"An EU official accused Mr Soriot of revealing confidential information, such as the best-effort clause and the production capacity, in the interview."So the EU can try to strong arm AZ by claiming it is contractually obliged, yet AZ is not allowed to refute that claim by reference to the contract? Surely the scales must be falling from the eyes of unreconciled remainers about just how awful the EU behaves to get its own way?136LikeReplyJanet Warrior27 Jan 2021 12:56PM@David Jones Some have woken up but you wouldn't believe the excuses being made for the EU's behaviour by the unreconciled Remainers....

Peter Wookey27 Jan 2021 12:58PMSo the EU accuse the company of breaking legally enforceable commitments in the contract, and when the company explain that this is lies because the contract only contained a best effort clause and no legal commitment to a timetable the EU turn around and say, you have broken the confidentiality clause.So the EU make public allegations that are lies, and then when the company defends itself by countering the lies the EU accuse them of breaching confidentiality,The EU are a nasty, authoritarian and lying non elected mafia that is desperate to deflect blame for sheer incompetence...

AZN is partly Swedish?!? Not helping them in the real world, though. R&D essentially U.K., based in Cambridge.

Oxford and Cambridge having a decent pandemic, it seems. Last time I looked, both in the U.K.

The European Ombudsman has opened a maladministration investigation into the EU’s refusal to publish details of the Contract.

Poor Ombudsman’s career isn’t looking too clever.

Losses on a Short Position are theoretically infinite.

.............................................................................

For the losses to be Infinite the share price would have to go to infinity. Can't remember seeing one of those!

If I were shorting, which I don't do these days, I would put on a guaranteed stop loss.

This may be the last chance to top up at low before we see 42p very soon now."We are open for business"PM Boris Johnson said plans in place by February 22 for gradually & phased route out of lockdown

Ooh getting back to where I should start buying back

[alphorn] 27/1/2021 14:23

ig - Is it 'infinite'? It is whatever the highest share price becomes - eg on a takeover.

It's good to see individuals like Soirot not afraid of standing up against Brussels fault blackmail, claim and excuses.. That's not the way to govern and be successful.This union has not foundation and its doomed.

Get it wrong on the long side, you always know your potential loss.
Worst case, company goes bust.
You have lost the lot but a short squeeze can go on forever

Anybody who dislikes "shorters"
Lot of Press today about a U. S. Company called Gamestop...

One reported to have been forced to take $2 billion hit.

John Thomas27 Jan 2021 1:59PM' There is suspicion that some supplies bought by the EU had ended up in Britain.' One French MEP makes wild and unfounded allegations and uncurious journalists keep repeating it like trained parrots. The same with the wild and unsubstantiated German allegations about the effectiveness of the AZ vaccine.The EU screwed up. That makes them incompetent, not wicked. What makes them wicked is their craven attempt to shift the blame. Bad move, however, as Soirot doen't do constructive ambiguity like the Brussels nomenklatura; he just tells it as it is.... Daily Telegraph

Says M2 - “U.K. begging for vaccine from the EU”.

And he says others are thick!!

The reality is that the EU’s staggering incompetence - resulting from biblical overreach, arrogance and spite - is laid bare and they are thrashing and panicking and wailing. AZN must wonder how on Earth to deal with this as they tend to interact with grown ups and professionals in their normal course of business. Like about 100 other governments around the world who understand the terms upon which they dealt.

It’s funny how losers always seem to want to play the game again. Remind you of anything?

Nigel Farage@Nigel_Farage1hAstraZeneca won't be scapegoated by the EU Commission and they are right to cancel talks. Time to stand up to bullies.
