The impact is not likely to be positive. Nearly every government in Europe will want access to the comms happening, particularly if it's within their borders or with their citizens. Europe is not likely to introduce an end-user-to-end-user encryption. It will be encrypted from end user to the government to the next end user.

The EU's DMA regulation, which is the one that will enforce interoperability, explicitly requires end-to-end encryption to be preserved.

At the same time, EU tries to introduce Chat Control, which would emasculate E2E by exfiltrating the content of the conversation anyway.

It is helpful to avoid thinking of any legislative body as a monolith.

and as facebook and governments have taught us, a lot of people consider end to end encryption to include "i can encrpyt between you and my server, decrypt it, read it, encrypt it again and pass it on".
