Indeed, it's Japanese with 6.5 komi. They didn't use Ing rules when I went in 2010, 2011, 2013, though we did use Ing clocks and maybe stones at some, I can't remember. At least the top boards this year were using DGT not Ing clocks, and the European Championship was using Fischer time (main tournament was still normal byo yomi).
I remember EGC 2010 in Tampere when we were finally allowed to use Japanese rules in the main tournament. Or, as they say, "Territory Scoring Verbal European-Japanese Rules with 6.5 komi for even games and Japanese fill-in counting."
