I would imagine the EC did come to some sort of agreement regarding their
own headquarters' copyright. (Based on this, they are aware of the issue,
yet they still carry images of the Berlaymont:
http://ec.europa.eu/avservices/help/index.cfm?sitelang=en#94 ).
If you are already in contact with their representation in Tallinn, you
could ask them to follow up on the issue and clarify if the EC has made any
special agreements on copyright.
(You also have the right to request the relevant documents that might
contain the information you need, see for example,
asktheeu.org, though I
would recommend simply going through the EC Rep and explaining to them that
the issue might be more complicated than they realise and that you would
appreciate if they consulted their colleagues in the relevant units.)
Best regards,
Bence

I could very well ask about it officially, but who
would understand the
question?

It would surprise me, actually, if they thought
about the copyright of
the building and solved the problem in time, smoothly. I've talked to many
officials in EU, states, municipalities, etc, and whenever they state
something about copyright, it is usually just lorem ipsum, they have no
idea what they are talking about. Any kind of explanation will have to
start from the basics and it will take a lot of time. There are exceptions
but they're truly rare, especially when it concerns FoP.

Belgium doesn't have freedom of panorama, so
certainly someone owns the
copyright. It wouldn't surprise me if the Commission did.
