link tax went too
As in it passed the vote
Yeah, article 11 got approved too

Who gets hit by it?
And to make it even more meme
Each state decides on its own
How will they implement the directive
Its far more complicated in other words
So theres no baseline or group singled out as of right now?
there will be
