Avgas (100LL) isn’t banned yet. What is banned, starting may 2025, is importing or mixing the lead additive (TEL) itself, so avgas cannot be produced in Europe.
This means that avgas will have to be imported from elsewhere, which should raise its price and provide an incentive to move away from using it.
This is a very soft handed approach, I’ll just say I’m very glad I don’t live close to an airfield…
Edit: jet fuel doesn’t contain lead. Only piston engine aircraft use this fuel.
