The EU demands compliance with standards in production, warranty, consumer safety and so on. And rightly so! Whats wrong with environmental standards, avoidance of hazardous materials, prohibition of child labour, limit the power consumption of certain products? Whats wrong with electrical safety, toys that do not poison your children, groceries that are controlled for herbicide residues? Absolutely nothing.
We have enough dirty sh!t coming into the EU from Asia (Yes almost the whole oh so terrific free trading zone.) We don't need any more of that.
It is really annoying and sad to see how little is known about what the EU does and tries by the loudest critics.
