Yes, and the EU contract with AZ (published) specifically included a clause which required AZ to agree that no other contract would change/affect the EU terms as per their contract. If there was a third party contract which could affect the delivery schedule as agreed then it must be declared, and it wasn't. It would appear that AZ signed up to this despite having apparently agreed a preferential delivery to the UK.
The EU/AZ contract has been published, the UK/AZ contract has not.
The AZ/UK contract was fine if it specified preference, but it should have been declared by AZ.
The EU weren't really complaining about the UK getting preferential delivery, they were complaining that AZ were not fulfilling their contract.
