>In other words a lot of the problems in Europe is the EU.

Are the EU fixing or creating problems?

EDIT: okay, I'm reading the essay. Maybe they are creating problems for the creation of startups, but solving problems for the population.

It's a problem that the EU (read politicians) are fixing a lot of the problems that startups could have been fixing instead.

I.e. it's a bad idea that the EU is not trusting private enterprise more than they are.

The population needs private jobs not necessarily cucumbers being the right size or cookie laws :)

But sure you could make that argument, mine is that it has consequences that I am not sure is to the benefit of the population in the end.
