The directive says otherwise (see articles 3 and 5)
Btw, the manufacturer, according to such directive, is never directly responsible, the responsibility lies on the seller, which in turn can "pursue remedies against the person or persons liable in the contractual chain", so even if normally is the manufacturer that takes care of the warranty it is not required (yet) to do so by EU law.
