Historically, _the EU as an institution_ doesn't have a particularly coherent view on encryption; the EC periodically tries to push anti-encryption stuff but gets slapped down by the parliament and/or ECJ.

(This happens particularly _visibly_ due to the EU's weird structure. In most democratic states, there are consequences for the executive trying to do things that the parliament is definitely not going to allow them to do (in some parliamentary systems failure by the executive to get something through tends to result in the executive becoming an ex-executive), so if the executive has something it doesn't think it can get through, it keeps quiet about it; it may talk about it in private but is unlikely to risk a defeat by parliament. In the EU system, there are no consequences, so you do tend to see the EC pushing things that have little realistic chance of getting through the parliament quite often.)
