This is the essence of a divergence of theory and practice. The text says one thing. In reality, something else plays out.

I think the text will prevail. But that delay (and uncertainty) is precisely what I’m talking about. And it happens everywhere, with active regulatory arbitrage an all-but-admitted strategy of a significant section of the SME space.

There is in practice no uncertainty. There is a member state where politicians have decided that they would like to make some waves to divert attention from their internal troubles but the impact on the rest of the EU is extremely small.
