.@SKyriakidesEU: In our contract it is not specified that any country, or the UK, has priority because it signed earlier. Our contract foresees a quarter by quarter schedule.
If this was the case [ie, because the UK signed earlier] AZ should have proposed a clause in the contract acknowledging that they would have prioritised deliveries to the UK, but here is no such clause
Commissioner says: the numbers shared with us on Fri [by AZ] did not correspond with what was in the advanced purchase agreement and to what we expected.
.@SKyriakidesEU: The EU is not imposing an export ban on vaccines or restricting the export of vaccines to third countries
Commissioner says AZ never told the Commission that because they had signed the contract later than the UK that there might be production/capacity problems
.@SKyriakidesEU: there is no hierarchy of factories. There are four factories listed, not differented between UK and EU, the UK factories are part of our advance purchased agreement. "This needs to be absolutely clear"
Commissioner says: No company shd be under any illusion that we don't have the means to understand what is happening, so we ask all companies to be as transparent as possible with information, production of the doses, where they have been sent etc
