#1 She described the new proposals as offering a "light regulatory touch" in a multi-channel, multi-media age.

Whatever. As long as these power-hungry idiots limit the scope of their demands and remedies to the area within their own borders, they can do whatever the hell they want. Leave us the hell alone.

#2 You beat me to it, Frank. ;-)

"Light regulatory touch" and "European Commission" are MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE TERMS.

Next up on their list of things to regulate: Where and How to Breathe. >:-(

#3 BAR,

My only gripe is that whatever the Euro-weenies do automatically becomes a policy point for the Defeatocrats.

Look for plenty of "light regulatory touch" blather to "save the children".

#4 "There was quite a lively and long-winded debate in the Commission,"

Zzzzzz. Give me a good Korean or Taiwanese Parliamentary fistfight any day.

#6 This won't just be to save the children but to raise the taxes.

#7 "We're going to use a light regulatory touch on your business."

That's about as comforting as "I'm only going to get a little pregnant."
