Organized criminals (especially state actors) will find ways to communicate in the dark regardless, including just continuing to use illegal encryption.

First, this can be made a crime by itself, and detected automatically because the mandatory back-doors fail.
Second, what gets talked about in public (the only thing any of us knows for sure, but also definitely not the whole picture) includes foreign governments recruiting locals via normal messenger apps.
More of a problem is that the back-doors can be exploited by both criminals and hostile powers.

You're assuming they continue to use monitored channels to carry it out.
I am assuming that the entire (EU in this case) internet is monitored for un-decryptable messages, and that they use the internet.
Can you square the circle, even in principle, without questions of cost?
