These so called 'Open Skies' agreements are typical of the Yanks. They get to come into anywhere in Europe, on cabotage routes (as well as ACMI operations on behalf of European carriers) - yet strangely the Yanks don't permit Europeans (or anyone else) to do the same on their territory.
Given the inroads Atlas are making into European airlines - work that European operators should be doing - I think that the EU is quite right to take this action.
They should also embargo airlines from countries that don't allow reciprocity (ie level playing fields) with the EU.
Strangely, the biggest culprit is ... the United States!!
