And if we refuse.

So it was OK for us to get a naming rule which rode roughshod over traditional naming practices in other countries, but the reverse is not OK?
Im not that bothered. What bothers me is the time a needless effort involved.
 
I just wish we'd change our labelling rules so that added orange juice, if used, cannot be counted as fruit content.

These people know how to do it:

Sugar, Seville oranges.

That's it.
So you approve of this product. Did the EU tell you to approve of this product or did you figure it out by yourself?
 
They just make this stuff up to keep themselves in jobs, what will they move onto when the marmalade rules are finalised, crisps?
 
Imagine some foreign company who wanted to sell their products in the UK.

Do you think that these are things "they" make up to keep themselves in jobs:
  • Products which people buy should be safe, e.g. if someone buys tinned prunes they shouldn't poison them if they eat them.
  • Products which people buy should be truthfully described, e.g. if someone buys a tin which says it contains 400g of prunes, it should contain 400g of prunes, not 350g, or apricots.
If you don't think we should have regulations which keep people safe, or stop them being miss-sold, ripped off, etc, then there's no point continuing this.

But if you do think it's reasonable to have such regulations, how do you think they can come into existence without somebody devising them, a task for which they should be paid?

So back to the foreign company, do you think that if UK producers of tinned prunes have to comply with regulations concerning the safety etc of their products, would you be happy with a foreign company being allowed to sell their prunes here and not having to comply with regulations concerning the safety etc of them?

Or do you think the right thing to do would be for the UK to say "Unless you comply with our regulations you can't sell your prunes here."?
 
You can't go wrong if it's got a CE mark.

There is no official C E Chinese Export mark. Any use of it is intentional misrepresentation.
There is no official Chinese government definition for a distinct "China Export" logo; rather, it is a commonly used, often unauthorized, variation of the European CE mark


Additionally, the CE Conformité Européenne does not denote origin, only to show compliance with European standards.
