Are there official plans to remove the 100ml carry-on restriction in Europe?
I remember reading a few years ago that the EU is planning to remove the 100ml restriction for liquids. E.g. a random article from 2010:
The good news for air passengers? The end of a ban on carrying liquids through airport security is in sight. The bad news? The current restrictions are not likely to be lifted for another three years.
The EU has announced that the laws will continue until 2013 when mass-screening technology to detect explosives in fluids is perfected.
Are there currently any plans to remove the restriction?

The main rule to remember is that you must not take any more than 100ml of a restricted liquid into the cabin of a plane, and those liquids should be placed into individual 100ml containers.

Liquid containers larger than 100 ml must be placed in checked baggage.Why do airports only allow 100ml?
The regulation which allows only 100 ml liquids, gels, and aerosols to be carried inside the plane was introduced in 2006, after the British Police uncovered a terrorist plot to ignite liquid explosives that were carried on board seven airliners travelling from the UK to the United States and Canada.HOW TO PACK LIQUIDS IN ONLY A CARRY-ON
