They'll probably still affect us when we're outside the EU, but now we have no say, and certainly no veto. Oh so the company that refurbishes antique mercury-based scientific instruments didn't have to close its operation because the EU banned the sale of these instruments, then? Do you approve of scrapping the ban on trading in ivory too? That's completely different though, isn't (It's a ridiculous comparison and you ought to fell ashamed making it) It's every much the same sort of thing: banning a commodity because it's harmful/unethical or whatever. The reason I mentioned that one example (rather than say a pesticide) is that sufficiently old examples have grandfather rights. Which you might be suggesting doesn't apply to mercury instruments?? Yet at the same time the EU was banning incandescent lightbulbs to promote compact fluorescent bulbs which contain ..er.. toxic mercury! |
