The title is also the exact title for that paper’s chapter.

You are right at pointing out that the paper is overall presenting the subject in a balanced manner, unfortunately it seems a bad choice was made when it came to that specific sentence, that gives a venue for it to be fed in the outrage machine.

In that specific sentence the source is cited (via hyperlink). So even if you read it out of all context you can still find out the source is UK's Children’s Commissioner Dame Rachel de Souza who said it, not "the EU" (whatever that means).

For this "story" to gain legs, someone must have pulled that sentence out of content without mentioning the source and then added some misleading context for the outrage.

It has been chosen as a chapter title.

In my view, it lends more authority to that statement over the other citations in that chapter.

I am inclined to take this as a honest editorial mistake: adding a ? at the end would have been the right choice.

I might be a bit lost on what you/we mean by context. For me, it’s the original pdf from the EU, no quotes.
