The EU isnt trying to push chat control. If it was then the EU wouldn't have shot it down multiple times like it has been.
Lobbyists are the ones trying to push chat control on the EU.
lobbyists need time; the more they have, the more they can do.
In Poland we call it "gotowanie żaby" (eng. boiling a frog). This is a nice idiom for slow action towards a specific goal despite the resistance of reality.
The EU parliament president is pushing for chat control. "Th EU" you describe is many layers and facets, and apparently one individual can bypass the will of the parliament. If elected representatives are bypassed, then people must represent their own self.
