Huge protests in Spain demanding affordable housing. Let’s make housing a less appealing investment by making other assets more attractive. This capital would ease the housing crisis and make financing for company growth cheaper.

Glad to contribute to this piece by @BMoens and @HenryJFoy in the @FT on the sluggish rollout of the Draghi report recommendations. The real bottleneck for EU competitiveness is political courage.

Hey @StigaLawnmowers. I ordered a PH 700e hedger & battery on May 12 from your website. The battery never arrived! Courier said to contact you, but your customer service is completely unresponsive. Need a replacement or refund. Can someone reply?!

A short article from me in CEPA about why copyright rules are critical for the development of AI in the EU. Let me know what you think.
Europe's Copyright Trap Stalls AI Ambitions | "The debate over copyright and AI is often described as a moral battle: the rights of creators versus the "theft" by big tech. This framing is fundamentally flawed." @osguinea cepa.org/article/europes-cop…

The FT reported that US businesses complained about the cost the revised Product Liability Directive. They are right but they missed an important (and sizeable) point: the largest negative impact that the PLD is on the EU economy itself. Here is what the data says:

Where the US businesses right about their complains? Sure they were. The PLD is not just a domestic regulation. It is a de facto trade barrier. Total EU imports are projected to fall by €21 billion to €36.5 billion. The US faces the largest absolute loss: up to €6.2 billion.

The revised PLD illustrates the costs that regulation imposes on the EU economy and to others. Consumers must be protected but we should think of ways to achieve the objective while minimising the costs on the economy.
