In anticipation of the AZ contract publication, a quick walk through of the vaccine contract we do have (which may be different, though I doubt it) and why the Commission's argument is disgraceful
The relevant obligations of the contractor (AZ) are in 1.3 and 1.71.
Those obligations are in three stages.
/2
First two
They must make reasonable best efforts
1. to obtain EU athorisation
2. to manufacture once authorisation granted
/3
Once those are satisfied THEN the contractor must deliver according to the estimated schedule (which may be adjusted for delay).
/4
The Commission's argument is that once the authorise (today!) the first two stages are satisfied. And the strict duty to deliver kicks in.
