"that wont work for a .com though. A .co.uk yes"

That's up to the .com registrars. If they have registrants resident in the EU ther they're going to have to do something like that. It doesn't matter if the ICANN contract says they can't because statute law requirements override contract terms. It would not be lawful for the registrar to follow such a contract term.
