chiglet: As Unwell_Raptor points out this is nothing to do this the European Union. This was a ruling by the European Court of Human Rights which is a body of the Council of Europe not the EU. The CoE composes 43 countries, including Russia.
The ruling is not binding on the UK government, although they have a “strong record” of implementing them. However, the European Convention on Human Rights was recently incorporated into UK law which I think means (correct me if I’m wrong someone) that anti-noise groups could take their cases to the UK courts instead of the ECHR and the rulings would be binding.
