Wrong decimal tho.
Why isn't there an en-EU or en-ISO locale that has:
- yyyy-mm-dd
- SI units
- 1,234.56 number format

It is possible to define a custom locale with these features, e.g. https://andrew.kvalhe.im/2022-09-09
The European Commission published its own language guide. In terms of English it's only a small deviation from en-GB, but my first thought was indeed: when can I set en-EU?
Do you have a link to this publication?

> This style guide is intended primarily for English-language authors and translators, both in-house and freelance, working for the European Commission.
It specifies formats for date, numbers etc.
I can tolerate the comma as thousands separator, but I hate the dot as thousands separator. Use a space or ' if you want to be fancy.
I wish we’d rip the bandaid off and invent a new character that makes it unambiguous across the world.
Because that comma is a crime against legibility.
Nowadays the recomended thousands separator by most international standards is a blank space.
And having been raised in the continent, I personally find using commas for thousands disgusting.
