A lawyer for the European Union today accused AstraZeneca on Wednesday of not having even tried to respect its contract with the 27-nation bloc for the supply of Covid-19 vaccines and of failing to warn it in time of large cuts to deliveries.
The EU took the Anglo-Swedish firm to court after the drugmaker said it would aim to deliver only 100million doses of its vaccine by the end of June, instead of the 300million foreseen in the supply contract.
