> you end up with people who think you are simply attacking the EU

That's not what I think. But you obviously lack the level of empathy you would need to accept that I may think differently. I accept that you think the way you think: you benefit from it as a business owner.

> Instead of using this opportunity to ask the questions

Yeah, because you are so superior to everybody else that people should ask you question, and their opinions are not worth your time.

When one has no response it's easier to blame the messenger. A nice cop out if I may say so.

You are putting words in my mouth and arguing in bad faith but that's easier than making a compelling case with facts and figures.

> "I am the best, I am so frustrated that so many people don't recognise it".

If I was the only one highlighting these problems then maybe you would have point but as I have demonstrated in my other comments, the EU commission disagrees with you, the Draghi report disagrees with you and a few people here also disagree with you.

Unfortunately instead of engaging in a healthy debate and addressing the points that have been raised, you have brushed aside all the arguments and refuse to respond with anything that supports your point of view.

You decided that you were right so you are right but you don't seem to have a problem calling out other people by telling then that their opinions are not facts, while yourself ignoring all the facts presented to you. That is a clear case of double standards if I have ever seen one.

Take it from my point of view: I said that I don't believe that Europe has no software industry at all. And I said that I don't believe that regulations are the reason Europe's software industry stuggles against the US monopolies.

What the US monopolies have been doing to maintain their position is very well documented, and has nothing to do with regulations.

You claim that it's possible to compete with a monopoly if you are not regulated, and you call it a fact. I disagree. I believe that we as a society should prevent monopolies, and the way to do that is regulations. And of course, if you prevent monopolies in Europe but play against monopolies who are allowed in other countries, it's hard.
