I think you got your info mixed up there.

I don't know any laws on this, but I do know that

i) the vast majority of car rentals in Europe come with unlimited kms (I certainly haven't seen any Sixt location imposing any kilometrage limits)

ii) (again mostly based on what I've seen with Sixt, because that's where I rent from) the in-country drop-off charge tends to be the same whether the drop-off station is 10km or 800km from the rental station.

Given the above, I don't think I can see any way of your legal info being accurate (though, as I said, I don't know the law/directive and thus stand to be corrected if you have an appropriate reference).
