The whole regulation was undermined from the beginning by financial interests of big corporations and internet providers. No wonder, when you see, which politicians are in charge. The EU -- I must regretful say -- is just a dumping place for those politicians, that did already prove in their own country that they are incompetent. The whole EU is just an invitation for lobbyists to get more pleasant regulations. In our country, the politicians always say: "Oh, we don't like that regulation, but we have to put it in action, because it comes from the EU" -- of course they say that even, when their own party or even when they themselves have pressured the EU to bring this regulation on it's way. The EU is just a big black box, where any stupid and unwanted (from the voters side) regulation can be brought threw, without putting votes at risk. A perfect system for politicians like we have in Germany, that give themselves a pretty looks, but in reality they just give a sh*t for their own voters. No wonder, we only have such puppets left in Berlin. But maybe, every nation just gets the politicians, it deserves.

>The EU -- I must regretful say -- is just a dumping place for those politicians, that did prove in their own land that they are incompetent. Not really. EU is mostly dumping place for dangerous politicians. Ones that are to ambitious or can destroy status quo of current system. When prime minister is afraid of a strong independent person he sends him to the EU. Also the ones that did something as a favor like taking blame for something or pushing proper rules through the voting and getting EU sit as an award. So EU parliament is mix really, not just dumping ground.

  Maybe. I just can speak from those politicians, I saw going there. There are some very incompetent instances in between. I can not see, how they (which I know) could be dangerous -- in spite being dangerous for the whole EU because of their decisions in Brussels. It also seems, that many politicians just see the EU as a way to get much money very fast. The best idea is, just to cater the interests of the lobbyists. But maybe the real problem is, that we only have incompetent politicians left. When I see, how the Germans stick to the "most competent women-leader" we have ... it is a disgrace. Today, leadership in politics in reality seems to mean: Don't do anything at all and wait, until "the market" will do it right. How anybody could trust such leaders, that never solve a problem, but just shift things into the future (ultimately making the troubles worse) is just beyond me.
