The issue of glyphosate has absolutely nothing to do with the EU,

Also, it is nonsense to say that only the UK takes notice
of this regulation.
In fact the Dutch are the leaders in pressing for glyphosate
to be banned.

I deliberately avoided reference to glyphosate in my reply to Michael,
and kept my comment general. There is concern in the UK about the
agricultural regulations that come out of Brussels, and how rigorously
they are applied in mainland Europe. Whether true or whether just a
xenophobic reaction, is another matter.

If you are not talking about glyphosate
(which is the subject of the thread)
you should say what regulation you are talking about.
