It sounds like a very roundabout way of raising taxes on the European tech industry. The part about establishing liability rules is certainly an important thing for lawmakers to be tackling about now, though.

"If we do not create the legal framework for the development of robotics, our market will be invaded by robots from outside the EU. The European Parliament could be the first Parliament in the world to discuss and create such a legal framework."
Its fascinating how this frames the issue. Not only are jobs being taken by robots, but they're being taken by immigrant robots! We must strengthen our cultural norms to prevent this invasion!

Fundamentally this is about how the EU commission perceives unregulated markets and it's desire to legitimize them through regulation, or at a minimum producing a 'framework' for their existence. The whole process is Napoleonic.
