That's an aspect of EU copyright law I'm not aware of. Can you tell me which Berne provision or EU directive this is? Moral rights only allow you to act against mutilation of the work and lack of proper attribution. And you have the right to decide on _first_ publication. But once you publish, the work is on the market and your rights are exhausted. I don't see a basis for doing a recall.
