Is this funding coming from an EU level mandate and trickling down to nations and then national research programs or is it treating the leaves of the research tree as part of "EU Research" as a whole? I'm not familiar enough

The customer could blame the service provider - especially when the provider stresses how unbiased they aim to be. But then negligence by the customer is an issue too. I agree with you — bias in ML systems exists and applying it to more fac
