The fifth part on a series by FT on the [EU Single Market](https://www.ft.com/singlemarket) that I think is well worth reading, this time on the Brussels Effect and its waning importance in the present day. I think a lot of this sub is in agreement on this matter, the EU tends to use regulation as its tool of choice too much which ultimately harms its own growth and international standing. Regulations will always lag behind new technology and the EU shouldn’t be in a place where it’s always playing catch up. Though it’s not right to throw away all regulations, streamlining and simplifying them to make it easier for firms to do business will go a long way for the EU, something they’re clearly already working towards.
