In the Compilation of briefing notes you find the EUPL author
Patrice-Emmanuel Schmitz describing the license.
I am however uncertain if the final draft of EUPL v1.2 was ever
authorised/published by the College of Commissioners.
You also find a contribution by Carlo Piana and his analysis of EUPL
(page 38):
2.3 The case of EUPL, relicensing permissions and the exceptions
Finally, there is a video clip on youtube of Eben Moglen's speech at the
event:

Hope it helps.
