So the short answer is that it is not possible to include GPLv3-licensed code in an EUPLv1.2 work.

No, the short answer is that it is possible, but if you wish to redistribute the work, then (and only then) it must be done under GPLv3.

@horsey_guy And to add to what MadHatter says, some licenses do not permit a recipient to change the license of the content. EUPL is explicit - someone can include GPL v3 licensed code and create a new piece of software, as long as they license it under GPL v3.
