diversified (or simply plural)
"pluriel" is defined as "dont le contenu est formé d'éléments multiples non perçus immédiatement." (Petit Robert)
In this case, I think it means that there are many different pelple on that panel, who are not only Europeans, but, specialists in different fields.
You could simply translate the word as "plural", which is after all the more exact equivalent of the term used in French:
"From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Plural \Plu"ral\, a. [L. pluralis, from plus, pluris, more; cf.
F. pluriel, OF. plurel. See {Plus}.]
Relating to, or containing, more than one; designating two or more; as, a plural word.
Plural faith, which is too much by one. --Shak."
But I think I would choose to use the word above, which is more easily understandable.

Official EU argot for this is "pluralistic"
Diverse, multifarious is very good, I think. When the parliament sits down to talk, however, it is interpreted as "pluralistic" in line with translation & harmonization policies.
