David Cameron and Dutch prime minister ridicule EU olive oil jug ban

By James Russell: David Cameron and Dutch prime minister ridicule EU olive oil jug ban

May 25, 2013

The Telegraph reports that David Cameron has attacked a proposed Brussels ban on the use of unmarked olive oil jugs in restaurants as “exactly the sort of area that the European Union needs to get right out of”.

Mark Rutte, the Dutch prime minister was even more forthright saying “I think it is too bizarre for words and incomprehensible to come with this sort of proposal at a time like this,” he went on to also state…”It will add to the burden on the hospitality industry and inspectorate. It is also bad for the environment because you cannot refill the jar and so lots of glass is wasted.”

Well said both we say
