Noted this on Flyer forum...
This is a call for evidence in how EU effects transport in the UK - including Aviation. Both facts and opinion wanted by the UK government. Other reviews seem to suggest that they accept references to other things too (so perhaps worth pointing to some parts of the recent red tape challenge?).
I haven't seen this being mentioned in the aviation press and their summary doesn't seem to mention GA anywhere. Are the usual leaders (AOPA / LAA / PPLIR etc) replying to this?
It is fairly high level (see the already produced docs for some other sectors, like health) so I wouldn't want to spend days looking at it, and with a closing date of 6th Aug 2013 we don't have long.

There is a nice factual summary on page 22.
Responses could be framed around these questions (quoted below).
I feel an EASA rant coming on...

1. What are the advantages and disadvantages to the UK of EU action in the
field of transport? You may wish to focus on a particular mode.
2. To what extent has the EU succeeded in creating an internal transport
market: how far has this contributed to economic growth in the UK? What
have been the costs and benefits?
3. To what extent is the EU internal transport market necessary for the
effective functioning of the EU internal market as a whole?
4. To what extent is EU action to harmonise social and environmental
standards (e.g. to ensure safety and security or to limit vehicle emissions)
necessary for the proper functioning of the internal transport market as
opposed to desirable in its own right?
5. What impact has EU action had on different stakeholders; for example, has
it provided the right balance between consumers and transport operators?
6. The EU's competence in the field of transport has primarily been exercised
through legislation and clarified through case law. To what extent has the EU
approach been proportionate: what alternative approaches would benefit the
UK?
7. To what extent could the UK national interest be better served by action
taken at a national or wider international level, rather than by the EU, and
vice versa?
8. What advantages or disadvantages are there for the UK in the EU having a
greater or lesser say in negotiating agreements internationally (e.g. ICAO or
IMO) or with third countries (e.g. EU-US, EU-China)?
9. What challenges or opportunities are there for the UK in further EU action
on transport?
