the EU has the power to legislate that their version be offered in a non-discriminatory way anywhere cards with comparable fees are offered… similar to requirements to accept Euros etc
i could for sure see that having a “globally” requirement tacked onto it, arguing that if it’s implemented in Europe and is comparable or better for fees then it’s discriminatory rather than economic to not offer it elsewhere
that’s what i mean about the globally requirement. there are plenty of companies that operate globally, so they could probably mandate that it’s accepted by these companies anywhere they do business
probably couldn’t mandate it for companies that don’t operate in the EU, but if it makes good business sense then they wouldn’t need to. the original mandates IMO are just needed for critical mass

Other countries need to implement it too
