Are we talking about the same EU that is currently attempting to ban encryption?

"The" EU is not a monolithic thing, there are liberal and conservative factions. Depending on the topic the resulting consensus can move quite a bit on that spectrum...

[sveme]

That's been put down by the EU parliament. But yes, the EU is definitely not a single entity with a single position on things.

[Sakos]

Unfortunately, yes. Despite that, they haven't yet passed anything that undermines encryption and they've passed plenty that helps protect privacy.
