Even without TCAS they need Mode-S transponders in Europe, with enhanced features within the densly flown airspace. ATC will be able to use advanced collision avoidance prediction from this.

While a TCAS equipped aircraft will get TA/RA for non-TCAS aircraft, two VLJs without TCAS definitely will not get any help to avoid collision.
