Bananas

I am reliably informed that there are still Europhiles out there - Blair included - who doubt the existence of the "Banana Directive".

Actually, it is a regulation but, that apart, its title is Commission Regulation (EC) No 2257/94 of 16 September 1994 laying down quality standards for bananas.

For the convenience of all, I have created a link (see left) directly to the Commission web site, so that anyone who wants a copy or needs convincing, they can refer direct to the oracle.
