      Whatever advice they are "offering" you don't have to follow it if you don't want to.

          Something to rant about! Where would England's middle classes be without a good old rant about 'these people'?

            A common market.

            And that's about it.

              So if we are to have a common market, do we need any other standardisation between countries to ensure a level playing field within that common market?

                Of course we do.

                  Isn't this jumping the gun a bit? Shouldn't they first put strict limits on just how much of a cock the standard recruitment agent is allowed to be?

                    OK, but my post wasn't primarily a rant. The point was not the EU commissioners' advice per se, but that it came so soon after the elections, proving that they had ignored the lessons of these and it is business as usual.
