The EU did not "just flat out banned all the DS Fish Oils and Lovaza/GL" - they're all still available - what the EU did was remove marketing authorization for using 1g/day of L/GL for CVD risk reduction - you can still use 4 g/day for high TGs. The FDA has limited authority to ban DS, in many cases can't do more than issue warning letters - only if they declare an ingredient an unapproved drug can they actually ban the importation and/or sales of a DS ingredient, such as what they did with Red Yeast Rice years ago because it contained a natural statin - I'd guess the EU has similar limitations on what they can do with DS sales.
