Yep, small biz can't compete with big business.

And to clarify, if there was a single regulatory body, it would be fine. I just didn't want to deal with each country.

Probably a shame since it was totally safe. Too much regulation causes your costs to go up and features to go down.

I don't blame your attitude here. If you can't get something, you want to come up with something that makes you feel better.

Yes, the EU is not a country. Each country has their own government, with regulations of their own.

I am in favor of some sort lf EU federalization for this reason, there's a lot of redundancy.

On the other hand, you could just choose a country to operate, which is a normal thing to do. There are things I could find, for example, in France that I cannot find in the country where I live
