The EU did not mandate that you use halogen bulbs.

  Thanks for the comment, you are correct. It is one of the two viable replacements at the time of the incandescent ban : halogen or fluorescent. Now we have LED.

      Most ‘filament’ LED bulbs are driverless and flicker horribly.

        Could be, mine don't. And i consider myself sensitve to flickering. I just grabbed some from the hardware store while i was there and saw them on special offer. Some well known brand name. Guess i've been lucky.

    The EU is its members. Every EU country voted to phase out incandescent bulbs, so that includes yours. This was not something imposed on your country against its will.
