    We should thank the European Union for that.

        Merci, union européenne

        Hey, let’s do it in all official languages of the EU. So far we’ve had English and French.

      The EU (where I live) is a bureaucracy nightmare sometimes, and is often far too removed from citizens. It has a gazillion problems, but as far as data protections and customer rights it does some things half right.

        I live in the EU and I’m happy we have it, because otherwise we wouldn’t have many consumer protection laws (either because my government is stupid or because we wouldn’t have enough leverage as a single country).

        Many things we now take for granted are only possible thanks to the EU, like the 2-years warranty on electronic/household products.
