Just to clarify (I'm the OP): Why are you talking about American influence? What I meant was a harmonization/simplification of EU states legislation. Some harmonization could also work with the US, but that's not necessary (and it looks very difficult to me).
- dclaysmith 15y agoSorry, misread the original post. Read it as "Should the US lobby Europe to make it more startup friendly" (No). Deleted my response as it's not that relevant having re-read the question. I think that the main point of the EU (for better or worse) is this harmonization/simplification. The goal is to make the EU competitive against the US through economies of scale. As an ex-Pat living in Ireland, I'd say careful what you ask for--you might get it. Pro-Startup becomes Pro-business which becomes Pro-big business which becomes Anti-social programs. I don't think I'd ever move back to the US because the direction it is headed. I hope that a "strong" EU does not mean an "American-style" EU...
- danmaz74 15y agoNo problem; I see your point, but from the US there are for sure good parts I would take. Others... not at all :)
