I'm European too and I haven't seen the many examples in the press that you refer to. In fact the EU seems to be relatively good at resisting laws pushed through by big businesses compared to, say, the US.
From what I remember, GM food was allowed in the EU because there wasn't sufficient reason to disallow it. Not that there wasn't lobbying pressure on both sides, of course, but those in favour were mainly from farming lobbying groups who wanted to grow it.
