If think the regulation wasn't a point of this work, but the main reason this was worked on in my opinion, was to fleece the tax payer. Imagine how many dinners, conferences, experts, lawyers, contractors, researchers had to be paid over the years. They eventually had to come up with something and that's the half bottomed result. If it doesn't work? Well, everyone already got paid and probably now work on something completely different. If there is too much noise about this, they'll have a reason to fleece the tax payer again and go through years of "fixing" the legislation. This is when you have unaccountable organisation (EC) without any bodies that would and could investigate corruptions and scams like these.
