Probably none. No one is saying the EU doesn't impose laws that we have to pass obviously but that it's just one of the many things times that we trade complete 'sovereignty' for something else. Even if we leave the EU this would remain the case just to a lesser extent, although we would then be enacting other laws and regulations when we negotiate new trade deals.

As the article says when it comes down to it we're still sovereign because Parliament could abolish them, including the EU.
