So, you see a seeming drive to privatization there. Is that drive motivated, you think, by a need to keep EU-wide taxes relatively down?

I think it's motivated by filthy buggers who see an opportunity to enrich themselves, and politicians who are looking for jobs when they retire.[/conspiracy]

Short answer, no. This isn't driven by any real need. This is motivated solely by the belief in the "market above all else". In short, market-liberalism. Idealism at its very worst.
