I presume that comes down to £££.
As always my cynicism around the UK media makes me wonder what news stories are being covered up right now as nationalism is deployed as a distraction.
Either the EU claims hold up or they don't, if they don't then AZ aren't in breach of contract. If they do, it's up to AZ to decide which contract to breach and now.

The AZ vaccine is being supplied to whoever,
AT COST. That is specified in the agreement with Oxford University.
They signed a contract saying they would deliver 30m doses to the UK by last September. As that has yet to happen, the EU is still way behind the UK in the queue. A business would always be expected to prioritise an order with an earlier "supply by" date, UK Sept 2020 vs EU April 2021.
The fact that the UK signed a contract wasn't hidden for 3 months, therefore the EU upon hearing the UK news, could've then jumped in right after the UK.
