Great news. But given the long timeline I wonder if that will give corporations a chance to make lawsuits and reverse course. Though the EU seems to legislate pretty well in the arena of consumer protection

Timeline is to allow comapnies to make the transition. Still needs the parliament to sign. Only way of getting a regulation struck is by proving it's against existing EU regulations and thus unlawful. EU doesn't fuck around with these things, doubt it'll see any credible resistence beyond posturing by Apple and Co. that they'll leave the EU and whatnot.
