Are they referring to this one? Released Sept 2 2021, prior to the arrival of Omicron, titled "ECDC and EMA highlight considerations for additional and booster doses of COVID-19 vaccines"
or this one, released January 11 2022, titled "Preliminary data indicate COVID-19 vaccines remain effective against severe disease and hospitalisation caused by the Omicron variant"

The second one says some things that you would like but I won't quote them. I'll just quote something I like: "The latest evidence, which includes real-world effectiveness data, also suggests that people who have had a booster dose are better protected than those who have only received their primary course." https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/news/preliminary-data-indicate-covid-19-vaccines-remain-effective-against-severe-disease-hospitalisation
