This is yet another problem with the EU. Britain has more than enough lunatic bureaucrats of its own (remember, it's British customs and excise that just can't handle the concept of there being no personal allowance for booze and fags - it's them, not the EU, that takes the guidance figure above which you might have reason to be suspicious and applies it as law).
We don't need another level of bureaucracy making up lunatic laws for our own civil servants to beat us round the head with.

Yes but some is really good and our country is a better place for the EU forcing us to clean up our beaches, more competitive through the EU driven deregulation of Airlines and Telecoms. Food hygene has probably been increased (even if we follow the rules overzelously).

There are definitely benefits of being in the EU. I am not in favour of outright withdrawl and my support for UKIP is a protest device intended to influence the policies of the main political parties in the UK. I suspect I am not the only one expressing my political 'influence' in this way. Telecoms is an interesting one though. Given the 80s Tory policy of privatising everything in sight, can deregulation of telecoms in the UK really be attributed to the EU? Did we not get there first, or if we didn't, would we not have done it shortly afterwards anyway?
