The EU's "terrible" rules: better or worse for entrepreneurship?

Economist story lauding the "blooming" environment of Europe's tech entrepreneurs.

The EU is derided as biz-unfriendly with all its rules and regs. But the chart suggests otherwise.

So yes, a small entrepreneurial pool compared to Silicon Valley America, but moving in the right direction and hardly damaged by the EU integration process per se.

The interesting bit to me here is the distinct trend across the board. Everyone seems to be equally compelled to attract innovation and have thus decreased regulation about 50% in the last decade.

Competition Rocks!
