Interesting, I see why this news slipped by given the date.

Edit: If I'm reading this correctly, the EU is not walking back their recognition here but rather updating it

I don't know what the difference is, they don't recognize him currently even if they did in the past.

The difference is that further elections & governmental procedure occurred in Venezuela and the EU is simply updating their recognition in light of that. They aren't timidly walking back their earlier recognition as if they were caught supporting the wrong guy.
