Why can't the EU say Hezbollah's name?

In 2013, the EU added Hezbollah's military wing to its list of terror groups.

So why couldn't they mention Hezbollah in this press release?

The European Union strongly condemns the firing of rockets from southern Lebanon towards northern Israel and the occupied Golan Heights including those for which the “Islamic Resistance” has claimed responsibility.

The European Union is following closely the developments that ensued over the last days, including the artillery and air strikes response by Israel. It is crucial for all parties to exercise utmost restraint and work towards a quick resolution of the current tensions.

For some reason, they use the euphemism "Islamic Resistance" instead of Hezbollah - which is arguably worse, since it promotes the lie that Hezbollah is "resisting" Israel even though Israel withdrew from Lebanon more than two decades ago.
