And the euro cartel busters have their own issues with the Price Fixers so it seems there isn't much parallel in *their* eyes either. Probably because when it comes to ebooks there are no small local players to be "protected" at the expense of consumers; it's all about giant multinationals ripping off consumers.
Or maybe the euro cartel busters don't think 19th century rules are a good fit for the 21st century and we're looking at the first steps at dismantling an obsolete protectionist framework.
It's been a while since Bismarck, after all.
