The within EEC clause is also gone.

"Middle East" has been added to
(k) Travel between South West Pacific and Europe/Middle East on a single flight number/or by surface is considered travelling SWP-Asia-Europe/Middle East through three continents.

They had better damn well fix the online tool then.

I wonder how much business they will lose due to the removal of that exception?
If by EEC clause, you are referring to the ECAA (European Common Aviation Area) clause, it's till there. From the rules:
When travel originates in a country for which a specific local currency fares is published and the ticket is sold in another country, the fare will be that published for the country of origin converted to the currency of the country of sale at the bank selling rate. The resultant fare must not be lower than from the country of sale.
Exception: Not applicable when BOTH travel originates and sales are made within the European Common Aviation Area (ECAA)/Switzerland.
