- andy_ppp 9y agoYes, the EU regularly kicks the asses of companies to help consumers in Europe. I'm sure we won't get the same protection on pesticides, pharmaceuticals/medicine, GM, white goods, monopolistic practices like this, roaming charges, etc. etc. once the UK leaves the EU.
- davedx 9y agoIndeed. The conservatives are already drooling over all the consumer/citizen-hostile things they'll be able to do once the UK is out.
- davidatyc 9y agoHow come the EU doesn't care about "pesticides, pharmaceuticals/medicine, GM" ?
- twidger 9y agoI think the original comment needs to be interpreted as 'EU does care, UK post-EU less likely to'
- AndrewKemendo 9y agoCompletely different scenario - But even if it was similar they are fighting it hard [1] so I doubt they will end up paying anything close to that. [1]http://fortune.com/2017/07/10/google-eu-fine-lawyers/ http://fortune.com/2017/07/10/google-eu-fine-lawyers/
