> calling regulations against clear abuse "endless bureaucracy" is insidious at best It's insidious, yes, but also what if foreign competitors gain a competitive advantage due to fewer regulations? They will still need to follow EU regulations, but they gain R&D momentum locally. The only solution I see is to bar foreign companies that do not adopt EU regulations locally too - e.g. a self-driving car developer that does not need to follow safety regulation as strictly locally.
