One of the best insights was what the UK Gov and Oxford had actually done, and achieved. Something to be proud of.

EU unhappy with astrazeneca
- Thread starter sxturbo
- Start date
They have, many times.
Good, can you reproduce te BBC copy of this interview please.
To this question
"You said that the UK signed the AZ vaccine contract three months before EU, so you had more time to tweak and fix the potential disruptions of the supply. Why then did you commit to similar contracts with the EU, if you knew that in a very short time there could be problems like the one the EU supply chain is experiencing right now?"
A response from AstraZeneca's CEO.
"First of all, we have different plants and they have different yields and different productivity. One of the plans with the highest yield is in the UK because it started earlier. It also had its own issues, but we solved all, it has a good productivity, but it's the UK plant because it started earlier. Anyway, we didn't commit with the EU, by the way. It's not a commitment we have to Europe: it’s a best effort, we said we are going to make our best effort. The reason why we said that is because Europe at the time wanted to be supplied more or less at the same time as the UK, even though the contract was signed three months later. So we said, “ok, we're going to do our best, we’re going to try, but we cannot commit contractually because we are three months behind UK”. We knew it was a super stretch goal and we know it's a big issue, this pandemic. But our contract is not a contractual commitment. It's a best effort. Basically we said we're going to try our best, but we can't guarantee we're going to succeed. In fact, getting there, we are a little bit delayed”.
So no commitment at all. The EU should hang there heads in shame....

Honest outlets are including SkyNews. The usual right wing outlets are putting their slant on it and the gullible drama queens are out in force with their pitchforks.

Probably was a mod.
The Telegraph haven't either.
Fillys great argument:
"I haven't looked for it, so it doesn't exist."
Of course the BBC have covered it, you muppet

3 month delay in signing contracts. I wonder what the consequences might be?
'Only best efforts' is an oxymoron.
Best efforts means that you'll do everything except break your own company trying to do it. I used to make that mistake too, although I expect AZs lawyers didn't.

Lot's of blinkered remainers try to come up with reasons why it's not the EUs fault?
