They can propose it to the USB Implementers Forum, standardize it as a new USB standard, and pass it to the EU.

No, the EU follows the industry standards. The industry standards for connectors are currently decided on by USB-IF, as almost the entire industry is a member of it. This means that when USB-IF releases a new standard, the EU will add it to the legislation.
