 Hmm an answer on which work started in 1977, more like a parallel
development.

 Europe maybe (at a push) but not the EU - OSI came from ITU (based
in Geneva Switzerland - not an EU country - with 193 member countries) and
ISO (also based in Geneva with 162 member countries). Both of these
organisations are rather larger (in terms of member countries) than Europe.

 An OSI based global network would certainly be very different.
