So ethereum is a hot topic in EU's institutions these days. Found these links on reddit mostly:

well they can't ignore crypto forever, it's about time that they moved their asses on crypto and start to recognize crypto as it deserve to be, ETH also it's very big now compared to bitcoin, and therefore they see it as a potential new good thing to talk about, i think they are beginning to focus more on crypto because of the recent bitcoin increase

That third link you provided really shows how much interest there is for Ethereum, just compare it to Bitcoin.
I wonder how many people actually voted on this, the Twitter post doesn't seem to have gathered much interest, so results might be skewed.
