If you are referring to EU261 regulation then it does not apply to schedule changes. If the easy jet had been cancelled then it would and
yonatan could apply for a full refund. but their flight hasn't been cancelled.
Some airlines will allow a passenger to cancel if the schedule change is 'significant' but it varies. IIRC BA regard over 2 hours as significant but for VS it is 5 hours.
You would have a hard time pursuading easyjet that 40 minutes is a significant change. But I have not read easy's T&Cs to see if there is such wording and if there is what cut off they use as meaning 'significant'
