The type holder, has apparently proposed a corrective action and the regulator accepted this with the understanding that as new data is found the corrective action program will be updated.
The extended EASA AD is published since 2012-02-08. AD No.: 2012-0026

New:
Applicability: Airbus A380-841, A380-842, and A380-861 aeroplanes, all serial numbers.

This AD ... extends the applicability to all aeroplane serial numbers and requires
accomplishment of High Frequency Eddy Current (HFEC) inspections of certain
wing rib feet and accomplishment of applicable corrective actions.
