I don't think you can call it arrogance or a question of superiority. It is about governments not allowing another country completely outside of their control to set their laws re. transportation safety. You would not want a situation in which EU legislation required that all cars be limited to 90 km/h and have 24 airbags, and then automatically Canada had to follow these requirements without any participation in the creation of the laws.
