The "after many years of EU governments rescuing sensitive industries" line should give you a clue.
They absolutely could have done it if they had wanted to, there have been many precidents, but the UK and especially this government is very beholden to the idea of the efficiency of the market and favours letting things run their course.

I tell you what...why don't you contact your local MP and ask the same question....

As I said..some countries ignore this..others don't (ie the UK)

I'd say it's more about interpretation of the rules rather than ignoring it or not. We choose to interpret the rules in a way that suits the ideology of this government. Other nations interpretation is different.

Not a lot of point in writing to my mp now is there?
