Carbon credits have been abused all sorts of ways as essentially a license to continue polluting. The EU's current stance is that the credit programs are so fucked in this manner they no longer really count.
Apples current approach of 'everything we can and credit the rest' is still ahead of the majority of the industries position, but not surprising that EU don't accept it as 'zero carbon.'
What the EU would like is for everyone to take responsibility for their own carbon generation throughout the entire supply chain rather than buying credits from greener companies, whether this is realistic or practical is yet to be seen.
