i hope EU will take legal action against AZ

The APA explicitly states that the EU side waives any claim against AZ arising from delays in delivery of the vaccine. What legal action do you think the EU can or should take, and why?

Especially if the delay is caused by additional orders from the EU.

It seems they are starting legal actions: https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN2BA1CF

Not quite. They are starting the prescribed dispute resolution process, as set out in the agreement. If that fails, they would still have to take AZ to court, and presumably then the restrictions on claims also set out in the agreement would apply.
