      The laws specified by the EU allow for future technological developments and the advancement of the standard without having to re-write the laws. The law itself includes a mandatory technical review, and allows for new standards to be integrated, and outdated standards to be dropped.

        I don’t think governments should be in charge of deciding what’s innovative

          History has shown us again and again that corporations can’t behave decently if let to their own device.

          I would much rather have the government stiffle innovation if that means that consumer are safe and benefit from said innovation.

            I’m not saying don’t regulate.

            I would much rather have the government stiffle innovation if that means that consumer are safe and benefit from said innovation.

            How can they benefit from innovation that has been stifled?

              Stifle wasn’t the right word. Sorry about that, I wrote my comment too fast amd English isn’t my first language.

              Innovation isn’t an all or nothing thing.

              There is a difference between removing all the red tape and saying “fuck it” and making sure that the said innovation isn’t outright dangerous. If we need to take thing slower to make sure that people aren’t killed directly or indirectly, then so be it.

              If the innovation is a more efficient way to your toe

            Exactly the sort of thinking that has stagnated Europe in all areas of innovation this century.
