> EU claims there are no best effort clauses, which is why they asked AZ to make this public. We'll find out
Best Reasonable Efforts are defined on page 3 of this post.
"The activities and degree of effort that a company of a similar size and with similarly-sized infrastructure and similar resources as AstraZeneca would undertake or use in the development and manufacture of a Vaccine..."
Couple problems:
- "Development and manufacture" doesn't include distribution.
- AstraZeneca has practically zero track record in vaccines. "Similar resources" is a potential out.
> the EU hadn't approved the virus
We are working on that!
The rest of your comment makes OP's point: this is a contract dispute. Why is it relevant when the UK signed their contract, or that the EU hadn't approved the virus yet? Such comments only serve to make UK citizens angry at the EU.
