You mean diktats such as maximum power for vacuum cleaner motors...
so that we have to vacuum for twice as long!
Or maximum capacity for toilet cisterns...
so we have to flush twice or three times instead of once (well, I do anyway)!
What these EU 'experts' failed to realise was that we - the UK - had the world's safest trading standards before we ever made the mistake of joining their little club.
What I was driving at is that our payments, or at least much of them, were to fund the generous salaries, expenses and pensions of the EU rulers, to say nothing of their expensive and inefficient practices, like moving lock, stock and barrel from Brussels to Strasbourg (and back again) every year just to keep the Frogs happy.

They are intrgral part of cybercrime cooperative defence. One of the fields the UK will be participating in in the EU after brexit.

It just needs a more honest and pragmatic approach.
