I find the information in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26544947 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26544947 credible, and they indicate that approval is not the major issue. Instead, the EU's contracts with the pharma companies cannot be met, because the US and UK legislated/contracted to bind local production to local use, with the UK even specifically requiring/strongly encouraging Oxford to use a UK pharma company (instead of a US one) in order to ensure they could bind local production to local use.

We are even continuing to vaccinate while other countries have stopped AZ because of the recently reported potential issues - still doesn’t move the needle much.
