EU regulators are not shy of ignoring side-effects, so intention is not likely but negligence is widespread. EU loves to regulate even for the sake or regulating; it was even listed as one of the reasons listed behind Brexit, even if that is a completely different story.
- simiones 4y ago> EU loves to regulate even for the sake or regulating; it was even listed as one of the reasons listed behind Brexit, even if that is a completely different story. Some proof of that would be nice. The phrase "it was even listed as one of the reasons for Brexit" sends my personal prior in the direction of it being a lie, though I am quite willing to adjust if there is some evidence.
- vaylian 4y agoI'm also skeptical. Most EU laws take a very long time to be negotiated, because different countries bring forward different needs/desires. But I do think it is hard for the average citizen to notice that there is a new law being drafted that could have bad consequences for one's personal life circumstances.
- redeeman 4y agothe EU regulates the speed at which you are allowed to vacuum clean your house. until 2009 there was regulation about how curved cucumbers are allowed to be(amongst other vegetables). Its blindingly obvious that the system has run so amok that it ought to be criminal
- imtringued 4y agoThis is one of the things that the UK could have simply vetoed on.
- blibble 4y agonot true, this is an EU competency so is under Qualified Majority Voting rules
- dathinab 4y agoA lot of the "reasons for Brexit" turned out to be well spread misinformation if you looked closer into them or where cause by UK government instead of the EU so that a pretty stupid argument to bring up.
