The EU has on multiple ocassions mandated deregulation if local regulations were stricter than Eu standard (I.e. German neoliberal standards)

The EU is an economic project to support European financial and industrial capital, and all its regulation serves either in direct support of that aim or as a concession to be allowed to pursue that aim.
