Why is the EU concerned about this?

From the article "The Hong Kong SAR Government recently launched a consultation on a proposal to refine Hong Kong’s foreign source income exemption (FSIE) regime for passive income in response to the European Union’s concern over potential double non taxation arising from tax exemption for offshore passive income in Hong Kong."

I read that too but sounds like a word salad to me. Are they worried that there are people, EU-carrying passport holders, who have found a loophole to keep all of their earnings?
If affirmative, how do they deal with EU-carrying passport holders who move to Monaco or Dubai?

I don't think they are worried only about EU citizens, their mission is to promote fair taxation worldwide so nobody should be able to take advantage of the passive income exemption.

I don't think they are too worried about Monaco because its limited real estate is a natural moat to the number of people that could take advantage of the tax exemption.

Dubai instead is constantly being threatened of being put once on the grey list, once in the yellow list and so on.
