it's always good to keep in sync with the hardware. Here is an extract of
chapter 
"46.6.2.1 Writing and erase/programming" from the datasheet [1]:

  During programming, the EEPROM is not available for other operations. To
prevent
  undesired loss in performance which would be caused by stalling the bus, the
EEPROM
  instead generates an error for AHB read/writes and APB writes when programming
is
  busy. In order to prevent the error response, the program operation finished
interrupt
  can be enabled or the interrupt status bit can be polled.

Please blame me if it doesn't apply.

It's only a suggestion: How about checking the interrupt status bit for
END_OF_PROG after the 3 ms sleep?

Best regards
Stefan
