You mean two years to comply before it went into effect. + over 10 years of similar local laws.

Even if it had changed right under their noses, that would still be OK in my book. The Lawmakers are elected by the people (somewhat -- the EU could be more democratic, but that's a different topic), and they should therefore be able to change the laws on the behalf of the people.

Ah, the old a-planet-full-of-media-attention variety of right under their noses.
