Having sat through Sir Roy's presentation that's not the feel I got. It was basically "EASA is here whether we like it or not, JAA didn't really work, EASA is currently working worse but we've no choice - we must make it work".
Didn't sound to me like protectionism. My main criticism of it was that safety was absolute, and nowhere in his presentation was the priority of ensuring an economically viable industry. That got no mention at-all.
