        Yea, but they only copy EU, which does the hard work. So I bet nobody would do anything, if EU wouldn’t.

          Here’s the summary for the wikipedia article you mentioned in your comment:

Through the Brussels effect, regulated entities, especially corporations, end up complying with EU laws even outside the EU for a variety of reasons.
