Going back to pre-EU times

[darmstadt]

Tories already putting forward their plans to rollback to pre-EU times and get rid of all that stuff that helps people:

Daniel Hannan: Britain is skint – so we should use our post-EU freedom to grow ourselves out of this mess. | Conservative Home

[darmstadt]

Hannan, who was recently made a peer, basically wants to get rid of:

- The Temporary Workers’ Directive: This guarantees agency staff receive equal pay and conditions with employees in the same business.


- The ban on products made from genetically modified (GM) crops.


- The REACH Directive, which outlaws chemicals linked to health problems including cancer, thyroid disease, hormone disruption and slow development.


- The End of Life Vehicles Directive, which aims to achieve environmentally-friendly dismantling and recycling.


- The Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD), introduced to regulate hedge funds and private equity following the 2008 financial crash.


- An end to the "Droit de suite" rules which sees artists paid a fee on the resale of their work


- "chunks of" the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) – the legal framework to harmonise regulation of securities markets and trading venues


- and General Data Protection Regulations aimed at giving individuals more control over their own personal data.
