That is not how law, jurisdiction or sovereignty works.

If I run an export business from my own country, the only law I need to comply with are the export laws of my own country. It's the duty of whoever is buying it on the other end to make sure they are allowed to import and possess the goods.

The EU does not own the right to use languages. I can use German if I choose without ceeding an inch of soverignty to the EU.

The EU does not control what data I collect when running my website. I might be required by my home jurisdiction to collect details on controlled export goods, and I might be required not to tell the user.

The EU controls the Euro currency, but they cannot make it illegal to me to use it, or attach special conditions to its use. They could convince my own government to sanction me, or aid them in sanctioning me, but that would be my own government affecting me, not the EU.

Your countries laws stop at its borders. Stop trying to control other people who have no say or vote in the laws. It's anti-democratic.
