That primarily useless body, the European Union, has at least voted to defeat one of its daftest ideas.
A group of Spanish Euro-MPs attempted to reinstate a rejected European Parliament ban on 26 types of misshapen and discoloured fruit and vegetables such as straight bananas and curly cucumbers. Fortunately, this latest proposal was defeated amid fears that it would merely increase food waste. It was a wise decision.
Now they ought to vote again on the similar EU-wide ban for ten types of produce including apples, citrus fruits, lettuces, pears, strawberries, table grapes and tomatoes.
Curiously, you only have to visit a French fruit and vegetable market to see that these rules are completely ignored. So much for uniformity!
