Oh, I think it is.
The problems in your mind are yours. Fixing those is not for me to do.

Note it's not just the BBC, and your own objective view was... ...a press release from one side!
Unsurprisingly, the press releases appeared before the press coverage. I linked what I had. I still can't find an English translation of the full ruling and posting long passages of French is not allowed here.

Do you take a balanced view of anything to do with potential differences betweeen the EU and the UK, because afaics you just about always take the view that ‘EU right/UK wrong’ ?
Generally, I find that points where I agree with the UK have already been made before I arrive. Also, this was EU vs AZ not vs UK, much as the UK press and fans are trying to spin it.

This isn’t a directly Brexit or an antI-EU matter, just a contractual difference which has been sorted.
I'm pretty sure there's at least one more ruling to come on this.

Err... no, you linked from one side only. And stated "the EU won in court", an analysis seemingly shared by literally no-one else.
That's what I had then. And being accurate but unpopular here doesn't make it wrong.

Your conclusion from this? That the BBC is not objective. Go figure.
No, that's the conclusion from the lopsided BBC headline. As noted in other reports linked in posts above, the judgment had things both parties liked and disliked.

If only you were.

As noted in other reports linked in posts above, the judgment had things both parties liked and disliked.

Confirming, as I said, your "the EU won in court" was wrong.

You relied on only one side of the story, and have been entirely lacking any objectivity throughout this discussion.

Something, laughably, you now accuse the BBC of.

AstraZeneca welcomes Court ruling on supply of its COVID-19 vaccine to Europe

fre, jun 18, 2021 14:01 CET
AstraZeneca today welcomed the ruling by the Court of First Instance in Brussels. The European Commission had requested 120 million vaccine doses cumulatively by the end of June 2021, and a total of 300 million doses by the end of September 2021. The judge ordered delivery of 80.2 million doses by 27 September 2021. To date, the Company has supplied more than 70 million doses to the European Union and will substantially exceed 80.2 million doses by the end of June 2021. All other measures sought by the European Commission have been dismissed, and in particular the Court found that the European Commission has no exclusivity or right of priority over all other contracting parties.*

The judgement also acknowledged that the difficulties experienced by AstraZeneca in this unprecedented situation had a substantial impact on the delay. AstraZeneca now looks forward to renewed collaboration with the European Commission to help combat the pandemic in Europe. The Company remains committed to broad and equitable distribution of the vaccine as laid out in the Advanced Purchase Agreement of August 2020.

In fewer than twelve months, AstraZeneca has worked extremely hard to develop an effective vaccine at no profit and is the second-largest supplier to the EU’s 27 member states.

The supply of the vaccine is estimated to have helped save tens of thousands of lives and to have significantly reduced hospitalisations.1,2 Real World Evidence has consistently shown a greater than 90% reduction in severe disease and hospitalisations caused by COVID-19,3-6 while recent data from England and Scotland demonstrated 92% vaccine effectiveness against hospitalisation from the Delta (previously called “Indian”) variant.5,6

Jeffrey Pott, General Counsel, said: “We are pleased with the Court’s order. AstraZeneca has fully complied with its agreement with the European Commission and we will continue to focus on the urgent task of supplying an effective vaccine, which we are delivering at no profit to help protect people in Europe and around the world from the deadliest pandemic in a generation.”

The Company continues to engage with governments, international organisations and collaborators around the world to ensure broad and equitable access to this well-tolerated and effective vaccine at no profit during the pandemic period.
