The question is about the authority to pass laws that only some countries need to obey. To my knowledge, the EU does not have the authority to do that.

They don't have to do anything like that. Just create a law that says no country in the EU is allowed to block sites.

		The EU doesn't work like that. It's a union of sovereign states, not a central government. Banning the member states from legislating something would require changes to the Treaties of the European Union. And that in turn would require unanimous consent from the member states. The EU could legislate the matter on its own, which would override national laws. But it's not in the habit of doing narrow single-purpose laws, because that's not in the culture of the people who run the union. Instead, there would probably be a comprehensive law on internet blocking and censorship, which would be a very bad idea.
