Why did Europe ban GMO?

Could you please explain to me the reasoning behind Europe's decision to ban genetically modified organisms (GMOs)? I'm interested in understanding the primary concerns or factors that led to this ban. Was it primarily based on environmental concerns, health risks, or other reasons? Additionally, how has this ban affected agricultural practices and food production in Europe? Finally, do you think there's a possibility for the ban to be lifted in the future, and if so, what factors might influence such a decision?
