Why are banana plugs prohibited in Europe?

Lone_Bullet.be said:
Which banana plugs are legal? those who have a plastic protection tube around the electrified parts. That tube will retract when plugged in. Look for EU electric stamps on it.
( I've forgotten about them.. I only remember the stamp for the Netherlands, that's ' KEMAKEUR '
( CE is another stamp, means safe for every day use, but NOT tested for electric purpose )

Hope this clears up things :)

Another one is the UK Kite mark, which looks similar to a heart shape, but it is meant to be a kite, that is a guaranteed recognised safety certification mark, it comes along with BSI markings which is the british standards safety mark.

Here you can see what the kite mark looks like
