If they recognise it as work, they ought to drown it in EU regulations, which will kill the entire industry.

Problem solved.

Once the "industry" is unionised, I am certain that the problem would dissipate.

So perhaps the EU involvement would manifest itself in a big stack of forms that 'clients' would need to sign in order to gain the 'services' of a 'sex worker'  ?

Retirement plans?  Easy disabled access? Government-constructed 'work' facilities? Government-sponsored job training?  Pimp training?

The small and furry stoat brain shudders at the spectacle.

Let them put in union work rules, including seniority, and the problem is solved.
