You are right that in Europe they do not have much to chose from, but Bt
maize MON810 is allowed to be planted and it was and is planted ...
http://ec.europa.eu/food/plant/gmo/reports_studies/docs/report_2012_mon_810_en.pdf

"In 2011, MON 810 was planted in the EU on approximately 114 508 hectares
across six
countries: Czech Republic (5090 ha), Poland (ca. 3 000 ha), Portugal (7723
ha), Romania
(588 ha), Slovakia (761 ha) and Spain (97 346 ha)"
