RAT5 . On the UAVs issue , ECA is very active and a joint letter with all International organisations ( incl. IFALPA, IFATCA, IATA, etc..) was issued a few weeks ago to EU commission .

GATCO in the UK issue a very strong letter and document to the UK CAA urging them to regulate , as there were 52 Airprox with UAVs in the UK the last 10 months.
VC Cockpit made a special 22 pages brochure in German for ILA 2016 urging for regulation before a collision occur. ( Sonderheft "Drohnen & Luftfahrt"
So on that front we/they really all do something .
Unfortunately Gliders/Class E airspace is not seen as a priority yet most likely because the number of reported incidents is still very small.
