That's because any form of limited warranty is illegal in the EU. The manufacturer has to provide a warranty repair for whatever period the product could "reasonably" be expected to be used for. They can say "1 year", but the "additional rights at law" mentioned in your quote mean that you can still expect a warranty repair if it fails due to a manufacturing defect after that time.
