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.)
