This kind of blows my mind

Turks: We Don't Want Europe - Newsweek: International Editions - MSNBC.com

Businessmen like Mehmet Yazici, head of the Altinok extractor-fan factory outside Istanbul, fear they'll go bankrupt complying with EU rules. If Altinok were to go by the book, its old East German-made stamp-pressing machinery would have to be replaced—it doesn't conform to EU safety standards. And under Brussels' labor laws, Yazici wouldn't be able to use teenage part-timers to package boxes after school or ask regular workers to pull 50-hour weeks.

Part-time teenage labor and 50-hour weeks is against EU law!? Hell, that's the norm in the United States! In fact, a 50-hour week is a dream for most white-collar workers in the US. Wow. Yes, Turkey, I wouldn't join the EU if I were you. Very restrictive. Holy crap.
