No non of them are censored in the EU. They are all censored in the US, maybe with the exception of Salman Rushdie.
US book banning is mainly schools and parent groups strong arming libraries and educators to forgo specific books.

Are you serious about this? There’s not a single school in the EU where an employee takes books off the shelves because they find them offensive?
Because that’s the standard you’re using for ”censored in the US”.

"libraries and educators to forgo specific books" is neither "banning" nor "censoring"
