EESC urges Europe to "change course" [Published CHINAdaily - 12 mins ago]

...1. Some memorable quotes emerged from the brouhaha. One of my favorites: the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung called it "weirdest decision since the legendary curvy cucumber regulation a reference to EU rules, no longer in existence, controlling the shape of fruits and vegetables that could be sold in supermarkets. According to the New York Times, Prime Minister Mark Rutte of the Netherlands called it “too bizarre for words.” And Prime Minister David Cameron of Britain got yet another chance to chastise the EU's heavy-handedness, calling the rules “exactly the sort of area that the European Union needs to get right out of, in my view.” The move, the EU was at pains to point out, was to protect consumers, both in terms of hygiene and ensuring that consumers get what they pay for. And representatives from 15 of 27 countries supported the measure, including major olive producers like Italy and Spain. Instead, they were mocked across Twitter. “EU once more shows its razor-sharp focus on the big picture with, er, uh, ban on olive oil jug,” read one feed. “EU protects citizens from dangers of unregulated olive oil bottles,” read another. In a very interesting blog at Open Europe you’ll learn everything about ancient practices to reduce fraud in the olive oiloil industry. You’ll also read that – despite all the mockery – there might be a positive story here. “The Commission's climb down shows that a rethink of silly ideas and proposals in Brussels is possible,” the writer says. “The Commission could've stuck to its guns and ignored the complaints - after all, there were some actors in favor of this (farming lobby, some member states etc.) - but reason was allowed to prevail.”"
