Many European countries already banned it in the '90s. That was decades ago and the EU is currently discussing making it obligatory to replace old asbestos materials in existing constructions.

Could you link some source? Do you know, if it's all buildings? I have a hard time imagining Eternit roofing on garages and barns going anywhere soon. I mean, would be really great, but asbestos is still all over the place.

Not EU related as far as I can see.
