In words of Dan Geer from his 2014 Black Hat keynote:
The EU legislation has good intentions. Software should not escape product liability. However, the current proposal is somewhat flawed (unless EU actually intends to finance security testing for FOSS projects!) and it needs some language to protect open-source innovation and distributed development models.
I'm hoping the EU will allow a model where FOSS developers can receive donations/charge for support without having to risk huge penalties.
