@ShipBrief I read those clauses in mostly the same way you did. 5.1 is about manufacturing the Initial Europe Doses (IED) in the EU, 5.4 about manufacturing "the Vaccine" in the EU (including in 5.4 only the UK) during the contract term. AZ commits to Best Reasonable Efforts.
@ShipBrief So, there may be a discussion about whether Best Reasonable Efforts were deployed by AZ for its manufacturing obligations. At any rate, I see no firm delivery schedule (unless redacted).
@ShipBrief Even without the rep in 13.1, it would be hard to see how the UK contract would be conflicting or inconsistent.
@ShipBrief Last sentence of 6.2 is interesting: are there "competing agreements" entered into by or on behalf of the Commission which justify "capacity limitations"? Which could those be?
@ShipBrief Dombrovskis today: "We have been very mindful of fully honouring our humanitarian commitments and ensuring to supply to the many countries around the globe that depend on the European Union. These countries will be exempted. We will keep our pledges...
@ShipBrief ...The countries include our neighbourhood and those low and low-middle income countries covered by the COVAX-facility."
@ShipBrief Would those be "competing agreements"...?
