The process may not have been ideal, but the outcome was optimal (unless you are an employer who didn’t want to give your employees decent holidays or working hours).

Fair enough. Actually I didn't say it was a bad thing although I like the idea of the UK being more competitive than France by being more flexible in terms of labour laws. As it happens, we secured opt-outs that I find acceptable.

The con was the device used to thwart our veto. It's one of the reasons I hate them as an institution.
