"Mr President, even the most ideological libertarian accepts the case for some regulation where there are externalities involving environmental degradation, but there is a question of proportionality. Do we really need the full force of EU law regulating, in minute detail, what kind of batteries we use for every kind of device? It is a basic rule of this kind of regulation that it almost always has unintended consequences and that very often those consequences are worse than the problem it was intended to solve.
It is micromanagement and excessive regulation of this kind that has led to Europe as a whole depleting its batteries. We are run down. We have run out of actual capital and human capital and enterprise. We are running on low and the time is fast approaching when we conk out altogether."@en1
