Simplification or Stagnation? The EU’s Regulatory Dilemma


All that for that result ? The European Union has finally realized that it's too cumbersome and not effective enough. It's analyzing and questioning itself, but to what effect for our professions?

For half a dozen years, we've all been working to consider the future of the EU in terms of savings, corporate financing, ESG, and technology.
Tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of people have worked on these issues and consumed millions of hours of work on projects that ultimately... don't work!
That's the simple observation, even more debatable because it's made by the authorities and politicians themselves.

At the average cost of a consultant in Europe, the EU has destroyed hundreds of millions of euros.

But let's move on and start again, since this is what the out-of-touch, entrepreneur-free approach of some people leads us to. However, for us professionals and business leaders who are trying to help with these discussions, the bill is steep, and the method is so far removed from our approach, which alone allows for the development of the economy and these decision-making structures, by paying for everything.
