This means complete agreement by all members of a vote. So if they werent actually talking about 100% then they just misused the word unanimous.
A quick search of the query “EU unanimous” gave me this. There are a lot of EU bodies that work in various ways so it can get confusing.

You are right. They want to get rid off unanimous voting. It would be replaced by qualified majority voting (QMV) which the other post refers to.
