Does a technical stop trigger EU flight compensation rules?

score:3

edit:
Sabine made me aware in the comments that I misunderstood the purpose of your question. I thought you were asking whether the technical stop of 45 minutes make you eligible for compensation, but it seems you're asking if a stop in a EU country makes you eligible for compensation in case of a delay.

I would think the answer to this is no, a stop in a EU country does not make you eligible for compensation under the EU air passenger rights. Your flight neither starts nor stops in a EU country, nor is the flight operated by a EU airline. But I can't provide the sources for this claim.

old answer:
Your flight is neither delayed nor cancelled, so you're not eligible for any compensation. The 45 minutes technical stop is a scheduled stop that is even listed on the Ethiopian website. It's just a regular part of the flight.
