If I understand this correctly there are new scanners that should make it easier to detect explosives, I guess. But while they do have these new scanners, they still will not allow more than 100ml, which was the case already.
It was always 100ml, but some airports don't comply because their national regulator says it's fine if you have a fancy scanner. Now EC says, no it's not, go back in line.
Schiphol for example lets you bring in whatever whater you want in whatever flask you have.
This is not true, airports with upgraded scanners are complying with the law just fine.
This appears to be a temporary technical problem:
> This precautionary measure is not in response to any new threat but addresses a temporary technical issue, undertaken in alignment with the EU’s international partners
And:
> Technical information received by the Commission and validated by ECAC States and laboratories, shows that the existing configurations of standard C3 EDSCB equipment to which the Commission has granted the ‘EU Stamp’ marking or the ‘EU Stamp pending’ marking need to be revised in order to improve their performance
