A frugal life is an easy life!

Food from animals injected with growth hormones to improve production of milk and fatten meat, etc. are banned from being used in Europe, as regards the food chain.
On health grounds - food products made from animals who have been injected with growth hormones, have (in limited studies) been shown to increase (of up to 70%) the risks of developing serious diseases.

Could someone please explain to me then, why it is that the European Union permit the importing and selling of to the public of Europe, of food products from around the world, which is made from, or produced by, animals which have been injected with growth hormones?

Why ban the food stuff in the first place and then permit it to be imported from outside the EU and used in products that are on our supermarket shelves? What is the point?
