I agree with you Neal, but I also have a different view that I like to share.

Here in Sweden (maybe in other countries as well) it's common to start complaining about something that has existed for a long time.
Like a gun range close by that had been in use for a half century or so, and all was well until someone decided to lay out a exercising path that was going close by.
They started to complain about the noise and the houses around chimed in when the petition list came, even though they had moved there knowing they might hear some noises.
The individual that complaint the most was also the most frequent visitor to the gun range...

This happens to our race tracks, airports etc, people are moving in and start to complain after that, so they need to shut down or move the activities that are generating noise.

With this in mind, many here are protective of their hobbies and try to circumvent this by addressing issues before the petition lists comes, as then it's most of the time to late...

That EFRA is regulating what IFMAR should do is something I don't understand, maybe someone has more knowledge in that department.
