That is true.....my employers(a well known ANSP) are fanatical about reducing risk. The regulatory authority have had the aerodrome operator grubbing out a bush because it infringes a horizontal plane. The apron is a nightmare of "one in one out"(don't even THINK about parallel pushes and yet an airline can cheerfully operate into an airfield where things (to paraphrase) "could be better".
I would have thought that european standards would have had a more consistent feel to them.
