The commission can't impose a standard, it can only recommend.

The decision must be approved first by the European Parliament and then by the Council of Ministers (which is where the real power lies) as that is the meeting of the equivalent ministers from all member states. Their meetings are behind closed doors and once they have agreed a majority then they recommend to the national parliaments.

The decision to use DVB-H was made, I understand, on purely practical considerations as DVB-T, DVB-S and DVB-C is adopted standard in the EU for digital broadcasts and would require few changes to broadcasting legislation in member states.
