Dear colleagues, The Adam Smith Institute has just published a report calling for less red tape in the EU and the UK. "The report argues that EU rules should be applied equally across all member countries, utilities should no longer have to pick up the cost of customers who cannot pay their bills, and small firms should have to deal with only one official on all aspects of business and workplace regulation. Senior Fellow of London Business School Tim Ambler and economic consultant Keith Boyfield also demand that the 16,000 pages of EU laws must be radically boiled down, that new regulations should expire automatically after three years, and that the official consumer watchdogs should be wound up."
