An interesting ruling.

Because of the nation state interests of the members of the EU, things do not happen as quickly or fluidly as in the US.

However, the old saying about where does an 800lb gorilla sit still applies.

The US is a big country and has global reach, but the EU is equally powerful if it acts in concert.

Much better if a bit of common sense was applied, but sometimes that has to start with a line on the ground and a push back.
