    Podcast: The EU deregulated with a chainsaw
    The EU is putting the chainsaw on – how omnibus laws are damaging the climate, the environment and consumers. The EU wants to deregulate - and how. It has put together legislative packages that, in the so-called omnibus procedure, always amend several regulations and directives at once. Officially, this should make everything less bureaucratic. De facto, however, the EU is thus sawing at the foundations of consumer and environmental protection. Bettina Müller, Head of Investment and Trade Policy at PowerShift, took a closer look at the omnibus laws. We're talking about where this deregulation anger comes from and what damage it all does. The picture shows how a person saws the trunk of a birch tree with a chainsaw.
