And be aware of that it is not about how many laws were comign from Brussel, but to what degree they have reach and influence on subordnnate legislation. Certain feilds of plltics are dominated to a degree by Brussels initiaves and demands that doe snto get reflect by the mere number of rules and laws it needed to accheive this domiance. Agriclture, traffic, migration, ecology are such fields of politics where few rules have unfolded tremendous impact and reach. They now try to enforce Brussels dominance in social politics as well, of course at the cost of net payers in the Euro zone once again.

It clearly is on the grand mission to establish an unlimited continental regime. Only opportunistically blind people and people agreeing with that course can claim not to see that.
