What does that actually mean? It means that most of the laws that are passed by the EU are done so at the behest of big industry. All laws are proposed by the unelected EU commission, and they are lobbied heavily by the industries. High tariffs on imported food are intended to protect the farming industry. Laws banning DIY are intended to protect the trades. Laws promoting green energy (read: noxious diesel gases) are designed to provide a ready market for German car manufacturers. If you're British then you'll know about HS2, the high speed rail network nobody wants and many are protesting against. Everyone seems to agree that it will be a waste of money but the govt are determined to go ahead with it anyway. Presuming this has nothing to do with TEN-R [1], which I doubt, you would think that the British govt might want to spend British tax-payers' money on British workers to build the trains, to help the economy and stuff, right? Well maybe they do, but they are required by law to put the tender out to the whole of the EU, so British companies actually make up the minority of bidders for the contract [2]. I googled for this, and the only reference I could find was Mail and Express articles, so I suspect it's not true. It is true. A friend of mine manages a charity shop and makes homemade jam, which she used to sell at the counter. She was forced to stop selling it after the legislation came in.
