AZ was/is shipping vaccine from the EU to the UK. That's what the EU considered stopping.

The EU's local manufacturers were supplying non-locally because they had a contract to do that and the EU hadn't set up such a contract, or a contract at all. Usually, if you've not got a contract then you don't get a say, and usually, if other people set up a contract first, they get supplied first, which is why the EU tried to use other means, and because that jeopardises the most fundamental part of all trade - contracts - everyone condemned them. Quite rightly.
Perhaps you were referring to something else?
It's not even that, it's being up front about paying all the local manufacturers to make vaccines for you first.
