I don't understand how you could possibly call this an attempt at plan economy, unless you consider all solicitation of a product by a government to be plan economy?
How is this fundamentally any different from the US's purchasing of doses from BioNTech/Pfizer? I'm sure the US would take legal action against Pfizer if they weren't delivering doses according to the agreement?
Because the doses provided are a function of how well the tool chain works and not of weather or not they have to meet a particular target or at what level the target is set.
"The EU is attempting a planned economy because the amount of doses depends on how well the production tool chain works". I don't think that follows? Is there a missing link here?

It isn't. It's just that "euroskeptics" will distort arguments for the sole purpose of hating and dividing
You're spreading prejudice, conspiracy theories and hatred.
