From Mozilla's post: The text goes on to ban browsers from applying security checks to these EU keys and certificates except those pre-approved by the EU’s IT standards body - ETSI.

It's not a "security check" it's just informing the user about their certs...
the certs let the authorities issue new certs for anyone they want, e.g. your email provider, and your browser won't be allowed to verify whether those certifications are valid or not, to notify the user
