I think the OA requirement is a good step but, as you mention, not enough to get us the entire way there. The EU and several European funding bodies have made the next step [1], which is to require funded researchers to only publish in journals in which all research is Open Access, pressuring journals to flip their models, and by putting a cap on the publishing fees those journals are allowed to ask. That said, that still doesn't get us all the way there. Firstly, it remains to be seen how publishers will deal with that - for all we know, they'll set up sibling journals for European researchers. More importantly, though, is that they haven't specified yet how they will decide who gets funded, if the name of the journals one has published can no longer be a factor. Then again, I'm hopeful that this drastic plan will shake things up enough for a solution to arise eventually. Disclaimer: I'm part of a just-launched project that aims to provide a solution for this.
