The message
from "anton" contains these words:
[...] Here is what Defra says, spelled out for
you from the source I quoted above.

*" Q3. Under the amended legislation, ****will*** householders
who
keep pets or other animals (which would *access composted
material
spread on their land) be allowed to use composted kitchen waste
on
their *gardens?

*Yes, subject to certain conditions (see below) and providing it
is
composted from the kitchen waste *of the household.


[my emphasis added above]

You missed the future tense in the 'will'. I suggest that you
re-read it taking careful note of how they use the future tense
to
tell us about what the legislation *will* be in future.

You're lost in the past, it was clearly dated 2001.

Don't be daft Janet-
"Page published 24 April 2003;
Page last modified 14 July, 2004 "
Of course it's possible that defra are sufficiently clownish to
refer
to 2001 as being in the future on a page dated 2004. However,
during
a similar discussion I read the actual legislation (2001) and that
indeed made it illegal to compost and spread on land /anything/
that
had been in a kitchen, without any derogation for individual
households.

Be that as it may, you yourself quoted the passage which stated quite
clearly that domestic household material was to be exempt. I don't
mind you disliking the EU, but it's a bit much when you try to mess
about with our minds like this. Though pro-EU, I could probably make
a much better case against it myself without actual
misrepresentation: you could find some better ammo.
