US Flight and duty reg vs EU

The FAA has a proposal out to update the FAR's to reflect scientific standards as to fatigue for flight crew. You are welcome to review the FAA proposal at http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sourc...rOuQIS4RaRHBkA . I have reviewed UK's EU CAP371 and EU-Ops subpart Q, neither of which deals will flight time limits on a day to day basis.
I was hoping someone more familiar with scheduled flying in the EU would comment on your experiences regarding flight hours flown in a single duty period vs sectors operated.
We are having a spirited debate on another aviation forum in the US and I'm looking for on the ground opinions about operating more than 8 flight hours during the day. It would appear you have no flight limit just duty, a difference to the US.
