> do the minimum required by the EU

People have a misunderstanding of how these EU laws work.

They are designed to be flexible with all of the specifics left up to lawmakers to interpret. Which is understandable when you're dealing with so many technical issues which can't be anticipated ahead of time.

So there is no legal or technical definition of what is the "minimum required". There are high-level outcomes that require continuous negotiations to achieve.

And you can have consumer protections like Australia, UK etc that consists more of specific regulations rather than what the EU has.
