It seems that researchers have warned that red tape is hampering research and costing lives. Read here.
What a surprise. Red tape is strangling innovation and investment in this country and to some of us it comes as no surprise to find the EU is just as bad.
As many have been saying for a while it seems that the box ticking, ass covering mentality is not interested in the actual risks and benefits but more interested in the process. Finally it seems that researchers are making this public. As the legislation is up for review in 2010 we can only hope that this report will end up making people think of the relevant changes.
Although EU red tape will probably ensure no changes. Well, no positive changes anyway.
