Does the sensitivity, particularly in the EU have more to do with trying to prevent the large US agriculture sector from dominating Europe's?

This seems like how the EU banned certain cosmetics that supposedly had small amounts of cancer-causing components within. Conveniently enough this put a huge damper on the largest cosmetic exporter...the US.
Possibly, but it could also be the europeans trust their government food regulators *far* less than americans trust their regulators. It probably has something to do with being lied to about mad cow in europe.
