Those are old. The reduction of SEPA queue to a week or less happened very recently. Last word from marionxd (MtGox support) in #mtgox on Freenode is: "Europe is currently solved." Contact them if you don't get your latest SEPA withdrawal today.
Spread between MtGox and Bitstamp supports this. It is currently below 9%, and I haven't seen it above 10% all day. Arbitrage is working. I expect the difference to stay well below 10% until tomorrow evening, perhaps rise a bit during the weekend (no deposits), and return to below 5% next week. Less than 5% is hardly worth the trouble of moving fiat around, but I guess some people will anyway.
Btw, why don't you ask for a higher withdrawal limit? My limit is 10k EUR, and my status is verified.
Europe is currently solved? Wow, if that is true is very good news. We might see some dumping ahead.
I will try to withdraw ~500, but I don't think it's solved. Otherwise the price would be equal on the exchanges already.
