There quite a number specifically approved, which is inconsistent with an "effective" ban.
My company makes GMO plants and until the situation changes there's no way we'd considered trying to get approval.
Demonstrably -- that is, from the list of products that are approved -- that's not true of the major players in the industry (e.g., Monsanto, Bayer, Dow, Syngenta) and even some smaller players.
Your company not having the resources to compete in a given market doesn't mean that that market has banned GMOs.
Those 2013 articles are outdated, Monsanto had a number of permitted approved this year. They either never withdrew their pending applications as those articles stated they intended to, or they got new applications approved in less than two years start to finish.

These aren't approvals to grow the crops in the EU, which is the core issue, they are approvals to import products grown elsewhere.
