Our government would enforce this if it NETTED them more tax, then blame the EC.

If they will LOSE tax revenue, no chance.

Oh come on: in the WW1 the USA didn't come in until 1917, and none of their soldiers fired a shot in anger until 1918. Meanwhile we were well on the way to losing a MILLION men and God only knows how much equipment and at what cost.

Then in WW2 they didn't come in until they had had all our gold reserves to pay for arms and equipment.

As to Europe: as I've said on here ad infinitum, the SAME rules apply to them as to us. The difference being that THEIR governments don't enforce them, ours does.

Don't blame the EC, blame your own government if an EC law/rule is enforced!
