I personally believe that the bills of the UK and EU should be as representative of its people and only its people. A bit patriotic in opinion. I think their upheld leadership and standards are generally respected on a civilization, if not global level.
If safety is the issue that needs to be addressed, then it shall be law.
And who’s West? There’s no such thing as the absolute/perfect center and/or leader of the world.
