Olive oil nonsense laws withdrawn

[original PM]

interesting how the only person who gives a damn is the owner of the factory who was set to see an increase in profits and in fact reading between the lines was the main driver for the legisaltion anyway.

Is that what it is all about - blowing some euro politician to get through ridiculous rules which cause the small business owner grief and extra expenses (not to mention the extra bueracracy needed to actually enforce the new laws) just so the laws and legislation are voted for in your favour to increase the money in your back pocket?

Absolutley disgraceful waste of money

The EU have climbed down. A good thing, because this was one of the most pathetically asinine pieces of nonsense ever to come out of those towers of bulltulip built by politicians.
