Obviously but that doesn't mean that the flat number of year on year sales don't matter. It's a very important metric

    It means you are losing market share

    Maybe. It depends on if the market is growing or shrinking.

    The market is growing outside the EU.

    Ok. The subject here is the EU.

    The subject is smartphone manufacturers ignoring EU rules

    Yes. Growth in Europe isn't the only metric that matters to smartphone manufacturers because they are still making money on the sales they make in Europe even if they aren't growing in the market.

    That's because there is no growth in Europe
