eu-wide

Even better, the whole cost of the EU-wide bank bailout could be sweated out of the Greek taxpayer!

Which may not be for long if the EU decides it doesn't like Malta selling EU-wide residency permits.

No, it's the exact same thing (although it appears to be the cheapest in Estonia), it's the exact same EU-wide law.

It's the EU Parliament that comes up with most of the new EU-wide directives.

Oh, and he'll also be responsible for drafting the new EU-wide copyright laws.

Ah, yes, EU-wide coverage is a problem - you need to get SIMs for every country you visit if you want the lowest rate.

It's only EU-wide as long as Malta is in the EU.

And then there's the fact that a EU-wide net legislation is a great opportunity for the lobbyists of the media industry to stick their clauses into.

They couldn't care less about french revenue, but it would be a global PR disaster, likely resulting in new EU-wide regulations that would then actually hurt Google.

Shouldn't such costs be executed at a EU-wide level?

Greece is in dire need of money, and is also entitled to the issuing of EU-wide permanent residency permits, so it makes sense for Greece to follow suit.

I think what jane_is_here was trying to say is this: Malta is essentially selling EU-wide* permanent residency permits and is making mad money out of it.
