Amateur journalists use the term “EU” to refer to anything and everything related to Europe: the Commission, the Council, the Parliament, the National Governments, the ECB, etc. Sometimes even the continent of Europe is referred to as “the EU”. I guess in this case EU would mean the EU Commission. But yeah it’s just a recommendation to the governments.
