Could check battery terminals, all earths . If o.k check / test battery and alternator charging rate as this can affect the EPAS . Dont know if this suggestion works or not ,

I used to have a Citroen C3 myself with the same power steering problem, it would fail when driving usually going around a roundabout or other equally awkward time.
As a short term fix if the power steering fails again, try turning off the ignition and without starting the car turn the key on and off a minimum of three times quickly and then restart the car.
If you Google "Citroen C3 + power steering problem" you will find loads of drivers with similar problems. The above "fix" worked for me and has worked for others also
