They're placed to block competition. It's called a non-tariff barrier to trade.

So we don't block you cos we have standard on food safety? We block you as part of a trade barrier? We force our own farmers to follow rules on food safety but if we tell the US to do the same we're putting up barriers to trade?

Do you see how arrogant you sound? The EU has strong consumer protection laws and reputation.
