No one but the EU and member's governments are more qualified to produce an actual, working age verification system […]
Because they already have the data base neccessary
Just imagine that every time you watch _cat videos_, the _cat video_ website sends a request to your government's servers to verify your age.
Of course, this can also be done without accessing any database. E. g. the German electronic identity card supports verifying your age without revealing any other personal information.
