I´m pretty sure that the list is made based not only on safety audits and/or concerns but political issues as well. For example, Air Koryo of North Korea operates a fleet of Russian-built aircraft in pristine condition. The airline is probably banned because it is part of G.W.'s "Axis of Evil".

The EU has been lock step with the Bush administration.
