A European sentiment if I've ever heard one.

I'm pleased that Brussels has cracked the case of what the Greater Good is, and what sacrifices we must all (mandatorily) make in pursuit of it. I'll let Plato know, I'm sure he'll be thrilled.

Yes, the EU should come up with “5 Year Plans” for everything…
Why not? I'm surprised to read this assertion. In any market, I don't see how greater diversity of choice can be a bad thing.
