Better changing EU directives. While leaving EU is always possible, it 
wouldn't in my opinion be desirable at all as union makes strength. 
Things should be even pretty worse than now -truly unbearable, barely 
revokable decisions- to make such move, so as long as we are up to 
change things within EU, it seems (at least to me) to be the best option 
thinking which EU directives would we need to include in our EU platform 
as political goals. I believe that moving away from EU would only be the 
best option if there were no other option.

While we would may discuss about whether free world trade actually 
exists, as long as it doesn't belongs -as far as I know- to PPI issues, 
I think it would be better not to do it. However, I think this

is a good analysis, concerning TR/IP/S, in order to think about what to 
expect from different countries and political realities -USA from EU, EU 
from USA, EU from China, Latin America from USA and EU, Australia from 
the forementioned, etc (remember, Reinier, there aren't only EU members 
in this list)-.
