If the EU is less likely to be influence by local or national political issues
then explain the CAP

Exactly the point
EU is constrained by what national governments will agree to when making laws - it's the Council of Ministers & Euro parliament who have to agree to CAP, and they are all country representatives thinking about the right thing for their country, not Europe. The safety regulations in the link are made by the Commission and related bodies, and they have a very different agenda - talk to people in the commission and they want to abolish or at least massively change CAP. It's country governemtns who won't let it happen.
