Platini’s executive committee agreed Friday to ask again for permission from FIFA’s rules-making panel.
The panel, known as IFAB, limited five-referee trials to club football when it met in July. It approved the system for UEFA’s Champions League and Europa League competitions until 2012.
IFAB comprises delegates from FIFA and the four British national federations, and is next scheduled to meet in March.
Platini is credited with the idea of placing an additional assistant beside each goal to help referees make decisions in the penalty box.
The former France great has led the opposition to calls for referees to have access to goal-line technology and video replay. The clamor for change intensified after a series of officiating errors at the World Cup in South Africa.
Euro 2012 will be played in Poland and Ukraine, and profits from the 16-nation tournament will help fund increased payments to UEFA’s 53 member federations.
UEFA agreed Friday to pay each country a total of €9 million ($11.9 million) from 2012-16. Some of the money must be invested in women’s football, grass roots work and entering lower-tier tournaments such as the U-17 girls championship.
The amount represents a 15 percent rise on funding that flowed from Euro 2008, which was co-hosted by Austria and Switzerland.
UEFA reported a surplus of €250 million (then $394 million) on that tournament on turnover of €1.3 billion (then $2.04 billion).
Also Friday, the executive committee agreed to create an award that will honor all European players who have made 100 international appearances.
Players who reached the 100-mark include greats such as Bobby Charlton, Luis Figo, Paolo Maldini and Zinedine Zidane.
The European record is held by Latvia’s Vitalijs Astafjevs who retired last month after his 167th international match.
