No wonder, when you see, which politicians are in charge.
The EU -- I must regretful say -- is just a dumping place for those politicians, that did already prove in their own country that they are incompetent.
The whole EU is just an invitation for lobbyists to get more pleasant regulations.
In our country, the politicians always say: "Oh, we don't like that regulation, but we have to put it in action, because it comes from the EU" -- of course they say that even, when their own party or even when they themselves have pressured the EU to bring this regulation on it's way. The EU is just a big black box, where any stupid and unwanted (from the voters side) regulation can be brought threw, without putting votes at risk. A perfect system for politicians like we have in Germany, that give themselves a pretty looks, but in reality they just give a sh*t for their own voters. No wonder, we only have such puppets left in Berlin. But maybe, every nation just gets the politicians, it deserves.
