In July 2008, the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament agreed to provide a legal framework that creates one monopoly in each member state of the European Union (EU) for the provision of accreditation services across Europe.

This action could be understood (but even then that’s debatable) if it served only compulsory conformity-assessment needs introduced by EU legislation; however, it’s also becoming obligatory for accreditation related to voluntary conformity assessment.
Therefore, accreditation bodies are free to provide inefficient services at a costly rate under the protection of the legal monopoly. Further, certification bodies (including laboratories) have no choice in selecting alternative accreditation services. According to the EA-2/13 M: 2012—EA Cross Border Accreditation Policy—October 2012: “EA members shall not compete with other EA members in the EA region.”

Accreditation / the quality of.
I's more like assimilation,
Rigorous expanding over the backs of the general population.
A One way direction towards an ever growing crowd of failing officials
These failing officials collect (don't earn) a salary of ± 14,000,- gross a month
Drive with tax free EU licenceplates, live mainly taxfree outside their own country.
And who are they in fact ? They are the failed civil servants*** of the EU member countries.
What they should have seen: The PIGIS countries, see also LIBOR
(Smart) Northern European banks*** invested in the 90ties in the hype of
a 2nd. holliday home at the Mediterrean ,
They knew the hype would burst around 2008 and sold everything timely ('06-'07) out to local banks.
Now the even the population and companies of the Northern Europens States go bankrupt due to
their own banking systems.
You wanted assimilation ?
You get it, We don't forget and don't forgive.

Accreditation Lobbies
Yes, George, it's more lobbysm than monopoly. Take the case of medical devices, for example, which is quite a public issue. Italy's Notified Bodies are accredited by Accredia - that is, Italy's official accreditation body - for registration according to the Standard ISO 13485; but they have to be accredited by Italy's Ministry of Health for registration according to the EU Directive 93/42/CEE, and / or amendments or equivalents. And - according to my knowledge - USA's FDA does not recognize this EU Directive. In a former column of mine - you may have read it - I questioned the value of accredited registration, because I think to know what's behind it, and underneath. The fact is, that both Registration and Accreditation have become businesses by themselves, instead of being services to Betterment. Thank you.
