"EU  reform to Freedom of Panorama legislation strikes me as a remarkably bad idea from a UK perspective. If the french want to limit photos of their buildings that is their problem."

The case that the FKAGEU is making is for harmonisation of Freedom of Panorama across the EU at the most free level possible. This would include opening Freedom of Panorama in countries such as France. Which is a good thing.
