Wait does this mean that the EU will also prevent the USB-if from charging licensing fees? Or is someone in the EU getting some kickbacks?

I believe that EU law allows anyone to make USB ports and stuff. It's the USB logo that you're not allowed without licensing fees.

That was my first thought, it seems weird to throw a mandate on proprietary licensed hardware.

It could lead to very weird outcomes if usbif decides to throw its weight around for political (or geopolitical) reasons.
