  1. Fake News. This isn't how it paned out at all. The inability to manufacture our own PPE happened because of the "level playing field" imposed by EU meaning Governments could not choose local products but must import cheapest regardless of the human cost of countries not having manufacturing capability in a pandemic

  2.  @befree3101  State aid, control of direct and indirect aid given by Member States of the European Union to companies under TFEU article 107. Primary authority for applying competition law within the European Union rests with European Commission and its Directorate General for Competition, although state aids in some sectors, such as agriculture, are handled by other Directorates General. The Directorates can mandate that improperly-given state aid be repaid, as was the case in 2012 with Malev Hungarian Airlines.[2] Leading ECJ cases on competition law include Consten & Grundig v Commission and United Brands v Commission.
