The point of DNT is not to solve the EU regulatory debacle, or any other country-specific regulations.

We long ago agreed to be informed by various practices, legislation, consultative documents, and so on, and therefore discussing them and their relevance, and whether we can match what they want -- no matter what their source -- is perfectly fair discussion.
