The UEFA executive committee approved giving its referees more technical help at top competitions, but the decision did not commit UEFA to choosing a goal-line technology (GLT) provider.
Platini had been a long-time opponent of technology but he allowed UEFA officials to review its use for Euro 2016 in his native France before his eight-year ban from all football activity.
The success of goal-line technology in the Premier League and World Cup proved crucial, especially after high-profile incidents in major competitions. Ukraine were denied a goal against England at Euro 2012, while two years earlier Frank Lampard was denied a World Cup goal for England against Germany.
UEFA will maintain its system of having an extra official behind each goal-line as well as the technology.
FIFA used the GoalControl system at the 2014 World Cup. The German company and Britain's Hawk-Eye system are widely used in European leagues.
