Ruslan,
Speaking as as a lawyer has participated in many EU proceedings over
several decades, your assertion here is not accurate. A European
Council Resolution is by definition a "legal document." It was adopted
on 14 Dec 2020 after an extensive policy making proceeding and
consultations among EU Members over more than a year, and the subject of
a vote by a EU governing body. See
https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2020/12/14/encryption-council-adopts-resolution-on-security-through-encryption-and-security-despite-encryption/#
As the Council's site notes, its Resolutions "set up political
commitments or positions." See
https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/council-eu/conclusions-resolutions/
The point here was that the NCCoE activity - as many similar ones in
other technical bodies - is fully consonant with adopted European policy
(paid for by EU Member taxpayers). It is also properly the subject of
notice by the IETF. What seem inappropriate is characterising
alternative views on these matters as "not fine," or "I'm glad I'm not a
tax payer in a jurisdiction that's encouraging people to weaken the
security properties this WG has tried hard to improve" or denigrating
the integrity of a government agency because they don't agree with your
views.
It is also worthy of note that shutting down discussion on the IETF TLS
list seems highly dependent on the views being articulated.

First of all EC Resolution is not a legal document, it's a legal
initiative. The resolution is a "call for action" but not an action
per se - there's no legal consequence other than it is possible to
bring this initiative now to european parliament.
