Re: This is a huge loss of rights for drone operators.
They're not. READ THE BLOODY OPINION. It's only 42 pages, half of which can be skimmed over relatively fast because they are uninteresting to the average civilian.
And it's ALREADY restricted. With good bloody reason. There are plenty of irresponsible drone flyers out there, sooner or later someone is going to get hurt. These rules are intended to make people THINK before they fly. They are NOT that draconian.
Also, when the UK joined EASA (which is distinct from the EU) it pretty much enacted in law that anything EASA decided would become local law. The democratic process followed is the normal voting proces for the UK. The country voted in the politicians that decided to enact the EASA rules.
