If I remember correctly, the US also tried it with Belgium for somthin or other, but they never got anywhere.
Doubt it will even get that far borked - it's not exactly something other EU countries (or other nations) are bothering about.

But sure, can see even the UK adopting a change of attitude and institutions there stuffing subpoenas at the bottom of a dusty filing tray. The UK is just one country who has directly opposing views on gaming and an interest in developing this further - and privacy is certainly an issue.

Doubt if it even would be an issue raised in the European Court of Justice - the court does not exist to hear the demands of non-EU states.
