the EU banned

No. The EU has not done anything regarding this car or this model.

The EU is just having rules that have made the drivers licenses and the registration process comparable and somewhat similar in it's member countries, and to let cars from the other member countries drive on their roads.

The article tells about some of these rules, but it mixes it up with the bedtime stories from this Euro-NCAP guy so that you could get many wrong ideas.

EU laws in EU countries prohibit the registering of vehicles that don't meet certain guidelines that would protect pedestrians, yes?

Not exactly. As the article says, each country has it's own registration laws, and the guidelines from this NGO are usually not a part of the laws.

A country may still have it's own guidelines for the topic.

Reading is hard.

It's not EU law unless it's coming from the EU. If it comes from the member countries, it'd just be a national law.
