If this was truly about protectionism, they would mandate CA transparency reports. This is unilaterally a law written to spoof certs to websites EU spy agencies would love to get their hands on.
I don't even trust my own country's spy agencies to not spy on me without cause, how could I ever trust, say, Hungary's?
This over-shot may have the opposite effect though. I think the browser vendors will have more trouble limiting plugins that monitor certificates and perhaps build a p2p transparency report of sorts. Right now the default CA's include the federal post offices, etc, of all sorts of seedy countries.
