Countries within the EU have all sorts of nasty laws that favour business over their populations, and have a habit of pushing through populist laws without thinking about the repercussions. The European courts are one of those aspects of Europe that is actually a good thing; they tend to protect people from the more cut-throat decisions. So, although the EU can be a dodgy entity at times, I don't think this is one of those conspiracy issues.
