MADE IN BRITAIN

[jonno 357]

Red Tractor could be scrapped under new EU plans

 

 

 

 

 

 

Brussels wants to scrap food labels which say "Made in Britain", in the latest example of EU tyranny.

 

Next month, the EU will discuss whether to introduce a label which says "Made in the EU" instead. This would mean that British shoppers would no longer have any idea where their food had come from. The only exemption would be meat produce.

 

The idea was put forward by Cypriot health commissioner Markos Kyprianou. It is not the first time such an idea has been considered, it was first put forward three years ago but was axed after a storm of protest from politicians and business leaders who said it would deal a hammer blow to the manufacture of traditional foods.

 

The plan had been leaked to Dutch media, and politicians in The Netherlands criticised the idea as being bad for the environment.

 

The fledgling British wine industry is also under threat, as the EU wants to limit the planting of new vineyards for the next six years. British wine is becoming increasingly popular.

 

Many British consumers want to support our farmers, but how are they to do this if they are to be prevented from knowing where their food originated?

good spot Jonno and sadly typical, i like to buy English apples, Scottish beef , dutch cheese etc as for me its a mark of quality and also helps keep up standards, if you cant compete on quality the answer is not to remove the lable of origin like these braindead Emps seem to think
