The issue is, when it comes to safety, they need to be able to prove that it is safe to use them. Failing to prove that they're unsafe is not the same as proving they're safe.

When you're the one making the rules that impact the lives of others, you tend to err on the side of caution so I can see why lack of evidence was sufficient to impose the rules but not to easily remove them. Clearly sufficient research has now been done that they feel the risk is so low they're now willing to change the rules until any evidence proves otherwise.
