That, by itself, makes the point. I am not rising to the bait you so carefully set to derail that point. You can search the internet as well as I can, and as I have a life, I do not have the time nor the inclination to dot every i and cross every t just to satisfy you.
Bait carefully set? That’s an interesting way to say you have no answer to the questions as posed.

There are hundreds of such Directives and you want me to list them all, with a critique! You really are a case.

The actual argument, which is that the abolition or amendment of hundreds of Directives will free up industry from a considerable amount of bureaucracy was my point. If you want to challenge that with a considered argument to the contrary, be my guest. Otherwise, you are simply trying to disrupt the debate and I am not going to assist you with that.

This is not Monty Python’s Department for Arguments. It is a debating forum. So debate.
“Considered argument”



Your argument is so hollow you cannot quantify a single one, make an alternative proposal and tell us how businesses would benefit? Wider impact on jobs? The economy?
