Indeed, but the EMA is the EU body that approves or does not. So now you have the absolutely stupid si5uation where half the EU accept the vaccine and half don’t. So what is the point of the EMA…..

It exists so Johnson can tell lies about it.
It's just two batches they have a problem with Pete
Poland is in its courts this week over this very thing, two cases in their high court on if EU laws breach their constitution.
The EU high courts are also holding court over Poland later this not implementing them.

Huge floods in Rheinpfaltz in Germany; Enormous heat wave in Canada and Western USA, out of control wildfires.
The world needs someone to take the lead.
Oh, no, the evil EU telling people that they should treat the earth we live on better. How dare they!
I guess you believe that they are the only state/organisation doing this as well and rightly deserve to be called out for their arrogance on doing something to try and slow down climate change.

Except that the EU are doing it as a trade barrier.….
Well they kind of have with GDPR and digital taxation. As it is, I thought you would have been in favour of the policy as it's anti the kind of protectionism you have long accused the EU of as it prevents EU-based firms from putting all of their polluting activities outside of the EU to avoid carbon taxes inside the EU.
But then I vaguely recall you saying a few times over the years that you kinda think climate change is bunkem anyway so I can understand your ire.
For those that believe in climate change and more so the human affect on climate change it needs an aggressive tact, if they feel that this is needed then I agree with it.
It still does not mean that they are being arrogant, just being aggressive about saving the earth, to be dramatic about it.

Climate change is not bunkem, it happens all the time, always has done, those of us of a certain age remember being told we were entering a new age age back in the 60’s. What is bunkem is the ‘global warming’ computer modelling telling us what will happen 50 years from now when they cannot forecast tomorrow’s weather. But of course it’s all our fault for firing up a bbq while totally ignoring the effect of that big yellow thermonuclear device sitting in the sky. Then we get carbon emission trading, where once again someone is making money from it. Now we have this arrogant diktat from the EU which you know is all about a new type of trade barrier dressed up in green credentials. Just ask the question… “who will make money from it”…..

Guardian….Today the European court of justice confirmed the right of private employers to fire staff for wearing headscarves or other religious insignia. All an employer need do is claim a policy of an “image of neutrality”. This judgment springs from two cases of Muslim women in Germany dismissed for wearing headscarves. The German courts found the sackings not only discriminatory but in contravention of the country’s constitution – but the case proceeded on up to the ECJ, which had opined in 2017 that employers do have the right to sack women in headscarves. There’s a strange legal clash here, as the European convention on human rights – which is independent of the European Union, although every EU country must sign up to it – proclaims freedom to manifest religious belief.
So you'll presumably be opposing all of the measures your own government is taking to tackle something you evidently believe is purely natural and there's nothing we can do about it?
