Yeah, you're probably right. I forget that supply-chain logistics is a bit different to ordering on Amazon. It only really matters what it says in the contract

Yeah, you're probably right. I forget that supply-chain logistics is a bit different to ordering on Amazon. It only really matters what it says in the contract and if it doesn't say anything about when the EU gets its vaccines, then surely it is up to AZ when they deliver?
- hef19898 6y agoYep, but usually exact delivery dtaes are part of the individual purchase rders. Penalties and so on are part of the contract so. And there the EU - AZ contract is so vague, no company would buy anything else than office supplies with similar terms. One example is "best-effort", what ever that means. And that AZ is redeemed of any consequences for late deliveries if the EU ordered more than initially contracted and AZ has to increase capacities for these orders. And that seems to be exactly what happened. And with AZ being, I could imagine, pretty pissed at the EU (and memeber states) right now, I think that doesn't really help neither.
