the EU also seems fond of regulations that are crippling for small businesses. The PPWR is the latest example. Search it, and you will find all sorts of artisanal crafters complaining that they have to register in every single EU country, in different systems and language, and for different fees, in order to be able to ship those countries.
Big companies like HP can do this trivially, but not small companies.
I'm glad I no longer have to deal with this.
