Description:This guide takes a
look at many of the worst Euro-absurdities to have been inflicted on
Britain over the last few years. Although Brussels has been blamed for
many of the miseries of over-regulation, the real culprits are just as
likely to be home-grown bureaucracy, often more zealous in applying EC
directives than other member states. Regulations have been introduced,
particularly in the hygiene field, lacking any sound scientific basis
and leading in some cases to an increase rather than an elimination of
risk. The book also addresses the larger problem of the state of mind
which causes this excess of administration, and Booker and North offer
guidance on how to fight the bureaucratic mindset and resist officialdom
within the law, so that the reader can roll back the ever-increasing
tide of regulation. It is being published to coincide with the
ratification of the Maastricht Treaty.
