Brexiteer blasts 'everything wrong with EU' after UK jam makers hit by petty EU rules
Britain's jam makers are facing the prospect of expensive alterations to their recipes as a result of Brussels revising its so-called "breakfast directives" related to ingredients.
And one Brexit-backing economist has said the saga "encapsulates everything that is wrong with the EU".
EU diplomats are currently discussing new rules related to jams, jellies and marmalades which dictate the number of fruit spreads sold across the bloc must contain.
Insiders have suggested discussions are centred on an attempt to increase the fruit content of jam from 350g per kg to 450g.
One told The Telegraph: "Member states are going bananas over the fruit content percentage on types of jam.

Why do you object to increasing the quality of products made and sold in the EU?
Notwithstanding helping the producers of fruit by using more of their produce?
Do you approve of products labelled as, for instance, strawberry jam, only to find the most exciting part of the product is to find the only part of it that resembles a real strawberry, sitting alone in a pond of slushy red frogspawn?

Glad to see that EU diplomats are concentrating on the important things - next they will get onto determining what shape the fruit must be....  |

Do they not put a list of ingredients on the back of jars in France? - they do in the UK and we can see at a glance just what is in our jams. |

French jam is like as lot of French food, bloody awful. |

You can list "strawberries" when there is just one. If you are fine with that, there is no accounting for taste. Or quality. |

In the UK we state exactly how much fruit is in the jar. |

A Brexit-backing economist says that's what's wrong with the EU -- i.e., it creates rules to set better and higher standards for even the most minor of things like jams -- but meanwhile, the UK has delayed and delayed and delayed checking of imports from the EU on the basis that EU produce have better and higher standards. On the one hand, Brexit Britain ridicules the EU for setting better and higher standards. On the other, it is happy to waive checks on imports from the EU safe in the knowledge that their produce have better and higher standards. Seriously.  |

They're concerned with really, really dull regulatory matters, in an attempt to standardise products, to make trade between members easier. All very boring. It's anyone's guess what you lot got so exercised about. |

Lol, you forget I lived there, deep in an agricultural area, yet the producer used to lay on the shelves gasping for water, you could almost hear it. We used to use four or five supermarkets just to get a weeks supply of fresh food, then I decided to maker a trip back home every 9 months. the journey was more than paid for by tea and biscuits. |
