This is exciting news. GNU Taler has been in development since 2014 (10 years now!). I'm very happy to see European Commision's interest in this privacy-protecting technology. Along with GNU Net and GNU Social (amongst others), it seems like one of those technologies that have a huge potential to make internet a better place for everyone. While many consider GNU projects to be vaporware with development pace of a turtle, it seems that the turtle is slowly starting to lead the race. GNU Hurd has also had significant news lately [0]. I'm feeling really hopeful about this, especially after the somewhat recent RMS lynching campaign that was lead by major corporations.
