    The EU is literally the only major entity actually trying at this point. Thank you!

      Actually a bunch of other countries are considering the same thing. Including the USA.

        Yea, but they only copy EU, which does the hard work. So I bet nobody would do anything, if EU wouldn’t.

Through the Brussels effect, regulated entities, especially corporations, end up complying with EU laws even outside the EU for a variety of reasons.
