Does a technical stop trigger EU flight compensation rules?

If I am flying, say, Addis Ababa (ABB) to Toronto (YYZ) on Ethiopian, do EU passenger rights rules apply?

The flight (Ethiopian Airlines 552) makes a 45 minute technical stop in Dublin.

This site is not clear on the matter, but I'm guessing the rules probably do not apply. Is that correct?
