I do not think that the names of time scale are considered to be EU business by anyone in the EU -- the EU follow the principle of subsidiarity which defers decisions with local scope to the locals.
We could water down it to a suggestion that the EU bring the naming problems to the attention of member countries and other interested parties. Surely there would be no objection to that. Also, I think it'd be helpful to suggest a solution to the problem. I'm thinking that the name Central European Union Time (CEUT) would be a good one if France, Germany and nearby countries adopt permanent UTC +02. New version of proposed comment attached.
