Some people seem to be missing the context of my point, so I'll re-state that I'm struggling to think of any UK-based business or important organisation that relies on .EU. Non-UK users of .EU aren't germane to the issue here. Even pointing out examples of users isn't really relevant: I don't claim that there are no users - just that I struggle to think of any [UK-based].
I don't think there are many businesses that want to show they're European, which probably means they're fairly large, but don't also want local websites for each country they operate in.
There are a few British businesses like hauliers and removal companies using the domain, but none big enough to be called "important".

https://www.brisk2.eu/ or https://www.structuralbiology.eu/ are the kind of thing, but UK-based European Union science projects have much more to worry about from Brexit than their domain name.

https://www.airnewzealand.eu/ is one example. https://www.flyturkmenistanairlines.eu/ too.
According to this, there are over 300,000 UK registrations of .EU domains: https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/news/10-years-...
