I'm not up on trade law or industrial law, but Skunk, do you realize that requiring an industry to prove that a product is
safe is the equivilent of trying to proove that it does not harm and prooving a negitive is logically impossible? If the EU is taking that stance, it just sounds like political fluff to make it appear that they are taking care of the ingorant unwashed masses while business continues as normal. I know, I'm cynical.
Prooving something is harmful is possible, though, sometimes the timeframe to proove it though is very very long.
