Could you provide some more context and/or sources for this? The EU to my knowledge does not have the ability to seize anything from anyone.

Read about the austerity packages enforced by the EU in Greece over the last decade. Raised taxes, lowered tax brackets, restricted withdrawal of money from bank accounts, slashed pensions, cut bonuses and overtime, and on and on. Devastated Greece for years.
