I find it only sightly amusing that someone who has a lot of skin in the game is getting behind this crock. The EU has exactly ZERO jurisdiction or authority to enforce this. Period.

I guess it may help to increase your speaking engagements and consulting work but it is 100% toothless.

Jumping up and down and being condescending to others here does NOT make it so. Sounds more like someone trying to get their 15 minutes of fame in a very obscure area of the law.

Lucky me, I don't own any vacation properties in the EU.

Perhaps the EU should be worried about more relevant things - like becoming irrelevant. Brexit FTW!
