Why does obtaining more ventilators require an EU-wide procurement scheme? And if it does, why do we need to be part of it? I can understand medium to long term at a pinch -market power for purchasing and common standards -but in the short-term? What if they disagree about the prices they're prepared to pay? What if they get into arguing over ceiling standards as well as floor standards. Or is it about who gets them, and establishing jointly agreed need criteria? And what happens in the meantime?And if they reach agreement really really quickly, then calling it a procurement scheme is a bit grand, and why participate in it -just say ok, sounds about right, but we'll reserve the right to also use ones of higher and lower specs.
