    This is why the EU is sometimes called a regulatory super power. Because the market is so large and important, the rest of the world often adopts EU regulations. Whether it’s GDPR or environmental standards, it’s cheaper to make one EU compliant version of your product or part than different versions for different markets.

    Not any other kind of super power though, we’re far too busy squabbling amongst ourselves. Some still haven’t learnt the lessons of the last two world wars.
