I believe you are mistaken. The EU resolution calls for the development of "a common standard" (to be updated from time to time): https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/RC-9-2020-0070...

Implementing a different standard, even if it is non-proprietary, won't do.

They call on the industry to agree on a common standard. 15 years ago. They explicitly do not mandate the protocol.
