EU Regulations: Fountain of Income or Totalitarianism?
British electricity plugs are surprisingly innovative. You won’t get electrocuted even if the third pin with an insulator is not completely plugged into the wall. Unless you plug the ground pin in, even the most adventurous child will not get electrocuted since the plug itself is covered by a lid. It is most likely the safest plug ever invented. Nevertheless, the rest of the world that was never under British governance, have been using a two-pinned plug that has a higher risk of electrocution and is much more susceptible to a breakout.
Successful sales of plug adaptors show even the simplest and the most innovative standard is not enough for something to be adopted worldwide. What Britain failed to understand was the subtle combination of the impact of regulations and the power to influence the market.
On the other hand, the European Union has been a quick and steady learner of these tactics. Nowadays, everything from wood manufacturing in Indonesia to Internet privacy in Central America is discussed in Brussels, Belgium, where the EU headquarters are located. All the bureaucrats, diplomats, members of the EU parliament, and lobbyists actively take part in the talks. Anu Bradford of the Columbia University Law School calls this phenomenon “Brussels Effect”. In her new book, she explains how the European Union has become “a superpower of regulations”.
