Indeed under FAA rules, both runways would be fully employed. With RNAV approaches, 26R is not a problem for landers up to 747 size, and certainly ideal for smaller size departers.
Why they would want to build a further runway defeats me!
Because FAA rules do not apply in Europe so parallel operations would not be allowed.
