If it was USA-EU the OP is afforded nothing but if EU-USA then the OP is afforded Duty of Care.
usa18dca is right...there have many posts on this forum of pax receiving EU-mandated compensation after they encountered an IrOpps on CO flying ex-EU.
What is true, is that a number of EU carriers voluntarily signed a passengers' bill of rights...no U.S. carrier signed this document.
