There are no regulations that hinder me to buy any AC I like.

I bought a mobile AC, like a lot of smaller shops in the cities do it.

I just looked that it has a high EER and COP to do myself a favour (smaller bill, and more silent when not needed on max.)

I'm right in the middle of the EU. I didn't have to pay any extra taxes, so I don't know what that article is talking about.

I mean it's a magazine published by a libertarian think tank. It is basically the magazine incarnation of a weird internet libertarian; not sure why you'd expect it to make any sense.
