Comments on the clue
1.Great effort, but none of the major dictionaries gives E = Europe as an abbreviation (Chambers has E = European)
2.Not sure about 'fly' before the fodder as anag ind but still prefer it to my similar effort
3.Shame about the full stop, but even so this is by some distance the best clue here. I wish I'd seen the Union Jack anagram.
4.E = European not Europe?
5.I like the surface, but E = European, not Europe.
6.Good surface reading though 'wave' might be a better anagram indicator.
7.16 "recent developments" is very broad for clueing technology
