Brussels Interferes Again: Now It Doesn’t Want Us to Know Where in the EU Our Goods Come From

DAILY MAIL: Ministers were last night under pressure to reject an attempt by Brussels to scrap 'Made in Britain' food labels.

Proposals to switch to a Europe-wide 'Made in the EU' labelling system will be discussed by the European Commission next month.

The scheme provoked outrage at Westminster, with the Tories pledging to save the traditional British labels on foods ranging from Stilton to Marmite.

If implemented it would leave British consumers unable to tell where the contents of their shopping basket come from in the EU. Brussels wants to scrap labels sayin ‘Made in Britain’ (more)
