I’m highly suspicious of it

My read is that the primary targets of DNS4EU is US-based “Big Tech” (whatever that means), particularly those firms that have a (shall we say) laissez faire attitude towards data privacy.  In other words, Google (8.8.8.8).  I’d imagine from the perspective of EC folks, DNS4EU would be a no-brainer: support EU-based business, give the finger to Google, give EU law enforcement a potential bone to get around DoH, make “rah rah” noises about EU data sovereignty, and provide, at least theoretically, a way to appease intellectual property lawyers.

Since they’re talking about a “federated” service, I suspect ISPs who want to play by the EC’s rules will be considered a part of DNS4EU.

Of course, if one were cynical, the question really is when the other shoe (e.g., legal mandates to abide by DNS4EU filtering requirements) will drop.
