and also what we have seen is the institutions of the european union, like the commission, take a valuable role in putting together the kind of economic initiatives helping europe two things which even a year ago we would not be able to do. the kind of political responses that give me that optimism would be, for example, we have a program here in europe called the shore program. that program pays the wages for between 25 and 30 million of european citizens during the time of the pandemic. that shows the political strength that is there behind our response to this pandemic and so many other things. i am hopeful as the elections approach and take place we see this dynamic be in place, if not strengthened in the years to come. >> chair powell, since we are onto 2022, your term is up february 2022. are you going to be the one to execute this massive challenge of an exit policy? we are a little surprised to hear you have not had any calls that with president biden. i do not know if that is normal or not. hard to define after your engagement with the last president. >> i have another massive cha

criticism from some member states over the past few months over the slow vaccine rollout in the european union commission blaming in part this slow rollout on astra zeneca i.i. the way it is certainly just the latest twist in this ongoing round between the british swedish pharmaceutical company and the e.u. commission of the commission says that it is launching this legal action because astra zeneca in its opinion has breached its contract has failed to deliver the number of doses it was supposed to deliver as agreed now astra zeneca delivered 30000000 doses in the 1st quarter of the year to the e.u. that is far from the 120000000 doses that the e.u. commission says that it had actually promised to deliver the new commission also said that astra zeneca could have for example diverted some doses that were produced in the u.k. to the e.u. to try and make up the shortfall now we have heard from astra zeneca they have given a response to this legal action being launched against and they say that is that they say that it has no merit and that they look forward to the opportunity to be able to clear their name
