Ah yes, googles brilliant plan to destroy the EU by maliciously sending mail from europe.eu to the spam folder.
At the vert least a company this size investing this much money into all kinds of bullshit should be capable of knowing that emails from europa.eu are not spam.
If this is incompetence rather than bad intent, it's just another piece of solid evidence that Google has lost its way and now sucks more than it's competition. Not that anyone would be surprised to learn that.
Spam filters don't and should not have some global default whitelists that bypass all protection. One simple reason would be that someone's account is compromised and it sends out malicious mail.
I have seen Microsoft Defender spam filter detecting legitimate Microsoft mails as spam. It's just how spam filters work, there always can be false positives.
