F9, #1, your argument is flawed.
As yet none of the accident investigations have issued a formal report, so there are no hard facts to debate.
The outcomes of a single accident should not be used to infer the behaviour of the operator; there is little or no evidence of what these operators do, or have done in daily operations.
You fail to consider alternative views; could an aircraft physically achieve a stable 9 deg approach.

It is very dangerous to base safety on such thin data. Reactive over-action might disturb the current state of safety.
Whilst you might exclude 'errant' operators from EU airspace, that would not improve their safety record, nor the safety performance in the overall industry which the travelling public may be more concerned with.

Improvements in an already very safe industry require cautious thought in considering a wide range of views and data, and the evaluation of many potential contributing factors before choosing a course of action.

P.S. I considered the possibility of a troll or fishing journalist; without evidence you have the benefit of doubt.
