Is the EU that ineffective? Some of its greatest triumphs are invisible because they don't exist.
I know someone who used to handle transporting goods around Europe and experienced the reduction of paperwork and inspection and costs and delays and so on, until he ended up with basically none. He says all the troubles he used to have that no longer exist utterly dwarf anything new.
I don't have much actual evidence, though.
- 7952 10y agoThe current hostility to standardisation and regulation seems a little strange to me as a programmer. Everything we do is dependant on having a reliable standard of how things are supposed to work. Obviously compulsion is bad, but without the EU we would still have compulsion. Instead of one required standard we would have hundreds which would need to be checked at borders.
