So, under free movement you decide to move to Scandanvia and work, and drive there in your car, you would rather pay to get DRL's fitted to your car at your own expense to be able to use it in a country that does require them rather than seeing a unified set of standards imposed on the manufacturer (at their expense) for all vehicles sold in the EU?
You didn't think of the reasons there, did you? If that is the logic then why do we all not have to buy winter tyres like they have to do in Germany etc. Surly that ubde EU logic should be universal? |

Just like if it wasn't true about 19years of accounts not being signed off , they would be strung up for it. P.
Direct from the Auditors website: Quote:
As independent auditors, the ECA have signed off the 2014 accounts of the European Union, as they have done for every year since 2007.
http://www.eca.europa.eu/en/Pages/AR2014.aspxPerhaps now you might believe there is a hell of a lot of myths and lies about the EU in the UK press, it's a pity because when the EU do screw up (and they do) there is no real way of finding the info in the UK press. Too many screams of "wolf" means that when the EU do have a "wolf" moment it's lost in the white noise of the red tops. |

That was a pretty poor analogy on your part, it's the equivalent of me saying that when a house is built it needs light fittings wired in to the ceilings and you making a comment about the curtains having to be installed when it's built. |

No you have another set of wheels for the winter when you purchase a new car in Germany. That's a little more than just swapping tyres.

Anyway I'm sure we're a mobile phone forum. Edit: It's a Bußgeld (fine) of 60€ |

it's actually quite a good idea to have winter tyres. The German law as well is it's a fine of 40€ if you don't have them in winter conditions. You can park your car without them. Also you can get M+S all year round tires.

There is a German law that you can't just swap your tyres over for winter tyres when needed? Really?
I do that, I've got Michelin CrossClimate tyres And I might take a look at those tires, my current ones are getting quite old. |

Centralised control on the scale they propose (and intend) has never worked ever in history, for innovation and certainly not for the humble peon!

Having telecoms at EU level and leaving OFCOM to deal with broadcasting would be a good idea, we should lobby our MPs
