I don't like the link either. But a quick Google search didn't bring up a good English speaking source (yesterday), so I can understand tomte linking to the eevblog forums. This was published yesterday by Golem [1] (German tech news) and two days ago by the FAZ [2] (respectable German news outlet). While both might be better links, they're in German. You can try Google Translate or DeepL, which usually work pretty well. Since this is happening on the EU level there will eventually be official translations of their plans; as well as international coverage.
