That actually more appropriately describes the EU safety mindset: "Ban it, unless we can show it is safe", whereas the US is more "Allow it, unless we can show it is unsafe".

I think what you're pointing out may just come down to a differing view as to what are acceptable losses for eating raw pork.
And, in fact, Germany has regulations for handling mett(which I assume you're talking about), indicating it can only be served on the day it is made, and you can't make it out of previously frozen pork.
