You might add that on the rare occasions EASA will deign to consult on it's rules and practices, it won't negotiate with national organisations such as PFA, BGA, GAMTA, etc. forcing the creation of expensive European institutions just so the industry can negotiate with EASA.
A conspiracy theorist might consider that a deliberate policy towards creating a European state ! After all, if we have all our aviation / industrial / recreational organisations now organised at European level, why not take the next step....
