Yep, but usually exact delivery dtaes are part of the individual purchase rders. Penalties and so on are part of the contract so. And there the EU - AZ contract is so vague, no company would buy anything else than office supplies with similar terms. One example is "best-effort", what ever that means. And that AZ is redeemed of any consequences for late deliveries if the EU ordered more than initially contracted and AZ has to increase capacities for these orders. And that seems to be exactly what happened.
And with AZ being, I could imagine, pretty pissed at the EU (and memeber states) right now, I think that doesn't really help neither.
