It is confusing. [and this post is no clearer]
The EU took AZ to court because they had promised 300m doses by the end of June +100m option to which AZ said they would only deliver max 100m by end June, and in fact will also miss that target.
They have only delivered 70m to date and will deliver 80m by the end of June
As I understand the EU asked the court for 120m doses by the end of June and a failure penalty of 10EUR per dose per day
The court ordered AZ to deliver [a further?] 80m by the end of September and a failure penalty of 10EUR per dose (NOT per day).
The court also said that the EU had no right of priority over any other party or contract.
The added confusion seems to be that EU are seperating Q1 delivery (30m) from Q2 delivery (90m) in some, but not all, statements whereas the Court and AZ appear not to be.
The EU has ordered AZ to deliver 15 million doses by July 26, another 20 million by Aug. 23 and another 15 million by Sept. 27, for a total of 50 million doses.
In summary, AZ were sued for not delivering 300m and only planning 80m by end June [70m to date], and the court has ordered them to deliver 120m by end September.
Difficult to see a win for the EU in that judgement, though of course it is now set down in the judgement and should AZ fail to meet this target (most unlikely) the story would be quite different.
