Some things seem to be forgotten about our path to Brexit. One is that Cameron wanted to negotiate changes but was given an emphatic no from the EU that expected a stay vote based on votes in other countries that had close results. Also there was a strong push for a referendum as we now know from over 50% several years before any campaigning. Business was happy but the people were not with an EU super state and open borders hence Brexit. The politicians are to blame for letting the EU form from the common market. For centuries the French, Spanish & Germans have been trying to control Britain and they have failed again.stevepoole wrote:To my mind, Brexit happened because of the ' yes/no' vote, which left no choice for middle-grounders ! A ' yes/renegotiate/no' choice would have avoided the present situation, but I blame the British gutter-press for reporting false information to people.
I do hope your reading of the other directives is better 10 million is by no means the minimum fine, it's the maximum (or 2% of net result, whatever is higher, etc. etc. easy enough to read elsewhere).Tinyfpga wrote:At number 2 is the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). The minimum fine for a breach appears to be 10 million Euros. The state knows that I do not comply (regular warning letters) but have so far chosen to ignore my wilful attitude. Luckily I have some spare cash to cover this.
Well, "EC" will not get you anywhere anyway, the stamp you want is "CE" (read "Chinese Engineering") Thing is, if you want to sell to the EU you still have (in principle) to comply with it, same as you have to comply with US rules (FCC) if you want to sell there, Chinse rules (CCC), etc. So Brexit doesn't buy you anything here. Also, before a common regulation you had a dozen different regulations, one for each country. I don't think that was a better situation if you have to comply with all of them... but still, there should be some kind of explicit exemption for small scale products as long as they are save.At number 5, is a real surprise. To obtain an EC declaration of conformity, circuit diagrams and documentation of products of an electrical nature have to comply with EU regulations.
So, no, you can't just write and draw what you like. I of course take no notice of this and can't even be bothered to stick an EC stamp on things I make.
Unfortunately true.c. It is thought that the EU state tangles small and medium-sized firms in a twine of red tape so dense, that It has created a scenario where small organisations have become too small to comply.
If you think this has been good I'm sure they'll be moving onto religion soon.dilwyn wrote:I don't normally go in for political discussions, but there have been interesting and differing views expressed in this thread. I guess we could ask a 100 different people for their views and get 100 different replies and opinions (at least!).
