I've been following the whole DMARC saga with some interest but I've not
previously noticed any suggestion that processing DMARC might be illegal
in the EU. Can you explain why you take the view that processing DMARC
should be illegal in the EU? For the avoidance of doubt, when you refer
to "DMARC processing" to what exactly are you referring?
