NickS Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 For anyone who thinks that our own bureaucracy is bad, just be thankful that the unelected mess that is the European Commission is not involved with regulating shooting. I have just revalided my pilot's licence for the first time under the new European "harmonised" regulations and a single sheet of paper has been replaced by 20 pages, numerous guidance sheets and licensing unit that declines to answer the phone or reply to e-mails - two weeks of digging through paperwork instead of 10 minutes doing something that has worked perfectly well for years. I just hope that shooting is not anywhere on their list of activities that need centralised regulation. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Don't worry Nick, I think that once the Eurozone finally admits defeat and collapses, there will be little excuse for us to stay ruled by Brussels!
