The same regulation has been in effect in the UK since April 2012. As an EU law, it overrides anything that each country may say locally.
But personally, I don't consider cost sharing as remuneration. I regard remuneration as being paid to provide a service - ie, charging a fee for your time or a product. Maybe it's a case of something getting lost in translation with the regulations.
I think I have read recently that EASA had made it legal to cost share with up to 6 people - an increase from 4 that it was previously. I haven't read that anywhere formally - just seen it on a forum or magazine website.
